Apart from the image that you have already posted, I'm struggling finding any further reference to "any" sort of revetments used in the MTO by either the allies or the axis (except for Malta), most shots show planes from both sides being serviced out in the open at un-penned and far flung dispersal points.
By contrast there plenty images of revetments for both the allies and the axis in Europe, but these are generally well engineered structures at established airfields or airbases.
The pen pictured above was as you say shot in North Africa, which would seem somewhat of a luxury considering the fluidness of front lines in that area of conflict during that period (as it appears to be either a F or G sitting in that pen), with air operations having to move from field to field being a regular occurrence, some fixed locations like Tobruk were duly fortified by both sides however.
So if you can point me to any further reference material that would be great.
