Don
It may have been put in limited service.
I have recently seen footage of truck mounted six tubes launchers being paraded and there are references to 262mm rockets being disposed by EOD technicians, components being used for others missile/rockets programs etc.
That being said there were probably not a lot of them and I would have to research further for dates etc.
It is already in the game as unit 565 and related formations.
