No it does not rule it out, Marston sheds were used for a number of different purposes including barrack stores but I have never seen one with stove pipies but that may be because after 60 or so years they have been removed.
You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!
carrying on from above, I can confirm that the Crew Procedure Centre 4641/42 is a Marston Shed and has at leat five stoves (there may be more but part of the drawing is obscured). It a low version, 100ft long, 45ft wide and 16ft to eaves.

I've measured the remaining building base, and cross checked it against the 1944 aerial photo.
The dimensions are 35' x 100', I guess that rules out a Marston.
So, where does that leave us?
Corrugated skin, pitched roof, 100'x35', sturdy enough to support an overhead gantry, end door.
This is the sole photo I have, which may be the interior of the building, mainly because it doesn't seem to be the interior of any of the other buildings on the site.

Looks home made. The exterior walls are made of fairly thin wood frames, though the sheeting would help. The horizontals are not uniform which suggest custom build. Could be wrong but it doesn't look as though it was last in a gale.
