In general this did not happen with LACNIC. ARIN had been allocating
IPv4 space out of 200 /8. The remainder of the /8 was transferred to
LACNIC at activation. ARIN tried to get a separate /23 of v6 space for
LACNIC allocations but was refused by ICANN/IANA, hence allocation were
made from an ARIN /23. LACNIC has since recieved their own /23 and are
working with those ISPs to renumber.
In regards to AfriNIC, ARIN has tried to allocate out of a block for
just AfriNIC for v4. ARIN requested a separate /23 for v6 but was
refused by ICANN/IANA.
