I'm not sure on the chronology so I couldn't pinpoint the stories in particular Lucky Luke collections. I think the relationship was more one of reprints; than the closer sort of relationship Fleetway had with some other European craetors. According to Hugo Pratt, who as you know created Corto Maltese, he was already sending work to Fleetway from Argentina before he came up with his most famous creation, and obviously before he moved to London for a spell; so you never know quite how and when to catalogue some of his Battle and War Library work; with the gap between acceptance and publication.

cheers, David
