It would therefore seem likely that carbon deposits could be found in a
similar way. CC asteroids will not breakup until they hit the surface,
and even then there is little for the carbon to react with - I suppose
some might ract with the FeO, but likely there will be a lot of carbon
around.

A good point to raise. The assumption that we can't count on the moon for
anything not found in the Apollo samples might be the most conservative
assumption, but is probably not the most likely outcome.
