If it passed directly to a Commonwealth army there's no reason for it to be viewed/proved.

Likewise many British orders for matériel shipped directly to the seat of war (the Middle East) and got redistributed there. For instance the S.S. Agwimonte left New York City in convoy CD-20 for Durban and Saldanha Bay, bound for Suez, and was torpedoed by U-177 and sunk off Cape Agulhas, South Africa, 28-5-43. The manifest shows she carried, amongst other things, '600 S. & W. Revolvers cal.38/200 with Spares in 7 Cases, also 600 Revolvers in 7 Cases'.
