Alex, see the pic below (source: hultongetty.com Image #56209263). It shows the LCA when it was still at the museum in Arromanches. As you can see it was not in a very good condition, and I am not surprised the museum wanted to get rid of it. If it ended up with a collector? I can only hope so. But not if the scrapman was there first...
