Army Service Corps initials?

Forgive a dumb question. I just received a MIc for an ASC private in which the unit is listed as MDSC. Can anyone decipher this?

Motor Detachment Supply Column/Company???

A friend of mine who is a service corps collector came up with the thought that the fellow's unit was the Meerut Divisional Supply Column. There was indeed such a unit (and a Lahore Divisional Supply Column) so this seems to be a reasonably good guess. His date of arrival in F/F is 23 Sept.,1914, and I think the Indian Corps arrived around 26 Sept., so he may have been in an advance party.

I have the exact same question. Did you manage to find the answer?
