Regarding the Fox question, there are some well known photographs of British Forces using Foxes in India immeadiately prior to independence.

Presumably they were left behind when the British Army withdrew.

I beleve the Foxs equiped units of His Imperial Majesty's Indian Army which of course became the Indian Army and the Pakistani Army on independence and partition. So they wouldn't have been "left behind by the British Army" never having belonged to this in the first place. The old army of the Raj were great users of armoured cars from WW1 onwards, especially in the North West Frontier area, as these allowed best use of relatively limited man power in War time when the bulk of the army were overseas Its possible that some might have ended up in Pakistan as well as India.
