Parts and upkeep for British civilian L1A1s?

[enbloc8]

I'm sure PL has talked in the past about combined stores in the Far East.

Perhaps a few UK examples reached the UK market from various foreign sources?

I have seen a claim (on a FB group, so take it for what it's worth) that BSA terminated their L1A1 contract around 1962-63 over a financial issue (supposedly they discovered that RSAF Enfield was being paid 18% more per rifle than BSA), and then sold off their last completed rifles and parts stock on the civilian market. The author additionally claimed that some of these rifles were then acquired by a movie production company's prop unit, or an arms supply house for the movie industry, and appeared in many movies and TV shows of the era.
