Given the material shortages of the day, I doubt these things would have been wasted. Re-using them would have been useful as a training exercise for the factory workers or military personnel responsible for periodic inspection.

There could also have been a substantial black-market for them if they were considered expendable, even as a training item. Not to mention they would be trade able with other units who might use them as 'R&R' items like ice-tubs for parties.
