The references I saw were on Wikipedia of all places (without a citation) hence my apprehension regarding its accuracy.

Do you have any of the photos with the Ross post WW2 in the scenarios you mentioned?

There were a few articles some years ago concerning the Ross rifles modified by the Russians and used in the 1956 Olympics. Some question as
to the caliber, either 6,3x54r or standard 7,62x54r. Main use in the Olympics was the running deer event

I have not seen any post-WWII. I have heard from what I consider a reliable sources that a great number of older small arms were smelted after WWII. There are reports of rifles being stacked and burned before the metal parts were sent for scrap.

Or just simply dumped in the ocean, this was done for milsurps and ammo of all sorts because it was cheaper to do that in some cases than to surplus it even.
