It appears in Kelvin Holmes's excellent and extremely useful - 
 
A Guide to Waterline Model Ships (11th Edn in PDF) 
on Pages 111 and 112 
 
Whilst the list is 'basic' as it only gives a single name for each ship listed (unless large classes such as Liberty Ships, C2s, Empire B etc) - it is a good starting point 
 
I have an original (and well used and abused!) copy of a listing produced - probably some 30 or more years ago - by A H Models (Alan Hodder) of all available LJ/WMS/Hein Muck (Degen) ships available from him 
 
I guess Len had stopped producing at that time? 
 
The LJ list corresponds to that in Kelvin's book - and there are only 6 WMS models listed - out of maybe 40? 
 
Interestingly - not all HM models are listed - just 58 - all except one suffixed W - which I think were specially made for WMS order 
 
The selection is quite varied and not restricted to British Vessels 
 
I also have a number of LJ/WMS/HM models and a number of archive photos to study 
 
The ship in the photo is definitely a M112 - Glen Line vessel and could be any one of the four in the class - as noted colours are slightly off 
 
Finally - a resource of LJ Instructions would be very useful - maybe Oliver can be persuaded to host one - I have a few unmade kits containing intructions  
 
Sorry for the long post but hope it is of use
