Did Euro Porsche’s get Cosmoline?

I’m curious if anyone knows if Euro Porsche’s were also sprayed with cosmoline or did Porsche limit its use to cars that were being sent via sea freight?

So I’m assuming some cosmoline was used, but still not clear how much. US cars had it on the wheel wheels and entire undercarriage fro what i could tell. Did Euro cars have similar?

My 3 RoW cars have all had Cosmoline liberally applied to the wheel wells, suspension components, engine and gearbox and most annoyingly, the back of the wheels.
