"...the cause for this rifle to have been DPed..." You won't. Rifles were DP'd for a host of reasons. Usually because that particular rifle was handy or the next one in line for service. How is was done varied too.
"...most common reason to turn a rifle into a DP rifle..." Somebody needed one. Not all DP rifles were DP'd due to safety issues. Mind you, if it was going to cost more than the rifle was worth to fix whatever needed fixing, making it a DP rifle was an alternative to scrapping it.
There's a really good discussion about the whole issue here. The gist of it is the DP rifles are NOT suitable for shooting with any ammo at any time.

Beyond Local Repair means the Regimental or local Depot(Base) weapon techs either didn't have the tools or parts to fix whatever need fixing. That could also have just been a rifle in need of redoing the metal finish. Beyond Local Repair is also known as Third Echelon repairs.
