What triggered this complete revamp?

From the notes:
Stock OOB was based upon a mid February detalied report on Axis OOB pre-Kasserine Pass, but during those 2 long months, attrocious casualties were sustained by both Axis armies: from the multiple battles of 1st Army and the US II Corps [Offensive of 26 February, Medénine, Maknassy, Foundouk, Gabés, Wadi Akkarit, El Guettar], to the incredible retreat from the Alamein to the Mareth line and the terrible battles around Enfidaville-Takrouna.

Axis forces by 23 April had little resemblance to those from February, not only in strength or relative numbers. They were forced to dissolve a lot of formations to somewhat replenish others (999 Afrika, Centauro division, just to mention some.) They were canibalizing units, reagroupping assets (Rgt.Lodi with all italian armored cars plus mobile elements, Panzer Brigade Irkens that's why 10th Panzer Division is shown with 175 vehicles just gathering 95% of all available tanks, artillery...)

As a side note, this OOB was created in good part thanks to the Verluste Afrika. Meldungen über vorhand. Einheiten und Reste, a document from July 1943 that detailed all German units lost in “Tunisgrad” and the invaluable help of italian researchers using primary sources on Italian archives (specially Maurizio, thank you truly.)
