Roy, yes all the forces used the Imperial widely at least in their staff bands. Some of the lower clarinet stands often had Emperors in many line bands and in the Royal Marine Bands the Solo clarinet players were issued 1010s from some point on. I do have an ex RM Band Imperial (926) A dating from 1946 so that's clearly what the solo players were using back then.
Quite a few Imperial and Emperor models were made in ebonite primarily for the forces although the majority of Imperials that pass through my hands are wood.
I suspect one reason the Imperial moved away from having rods in all it's mechanism was the harder life that clarinets had in military circles.
A small knock to rodded keywork can instantly cripple an instrument and is not easily fixed without special tools whereas with pivot screws a bent shaft may well carry on working and is certainly quite easy to rectify.
