I believe Shelby, Holman/Moody and Ford France were all works entries in their own sense. Shelby was fairly independent but only because they had so many years of experience with the car (like P&M), Holman and Moody was brought it to increase Ford's chances. Ford France was just another tentacle of Ford's lust for victory.

It does get hard to separate private from works. There are plenty of teams out there that are so highly professional, the only real works help they need is just some inside knowledge on the cars and official parts and factory support on more complicate issues (Prodrive, Flying Lizards, P&M, Oreca, Pescarolo, even Joest).
