I don't see the G41 being as widespread as you think there Rae. It was originally intended to equip only the rear area troops, therefore only limited numbers would have been produced. By the time the G11 ran short of ammo, production of ANY weapon beyond a back yard scale would be impossible, therefore it's much more probable that older weapons already in existance would be picked up and distributed.
Perhaps the existing G41's were redistributed to front line troops, but as it seems unlikely they'd have trained with them it makes more sence to leave them in the hands of those who have, and retrain the front line troops on G3's - at least the older troops and NCOs would already have trained on them, and many would be qualified instructors (a little rusty perhaps, but better than a cold start).
