Here is a rare report where RAASC convoy struck wire strung across the route, in the rain.
Of course it'd be raining for best effect.

Dated 6sep66. Maybe the convoy escorts got bars fitted after this? "Did not stop to investigate".
I say rare because its the only one in reams of reports. History:

I didn't know that you had been on report??  I hope the punishment wasn't too severe!

I'm considering the flexibilities of the Ferret as you mention... but in the end I'd vote for the 113. Its in country, there are easier spares access, the VC know what they are. Did the 50's froggies use Ferrets? I don't know. If they did it would raise the risk that the Ferret may draw undesirable attention from the Yanks.

 
I've been educmacated now, I have seen the light. These RAASC convoy drivers and commanders would've seen the yanks who got around in some ferret looking armoured cars:
