Pedant mode engaged; a Form D83 is not a "destruction notice". It is a Base/Depot Stores Return Voucher; the civilian equivalent to a Navy Form S331. If the stores had been returned as condition A1, Servicable, they may have been repacked and taken on charge as stock. Conditioning used stores is not easy, though and not always safe. If the stores had been returned in condition E0, they might have been held as repairable stock. If the stock would then have significantly exceded the the recurrent Monthly Demand Rate, though, it would probably have then been gashed in a routine Surplus Stock Review. I am, of course, assuming that the kit posessed a valid Pattern/Stock Number. Pedant switches to "off".
It's often held back, come in handy, kit that turns up in the likes of the subject pictures.
