The only real world example I know of is China, where the revolution relied on a backbone of peasant anarchists and the CPC had a large number of anarchists all throughout its ranks as a result, and there they generally influenced a lot of the party's policies and bent to the same material pressures as the other Chinese communists, refining their theory to work with the conditions they could see and the material necessities they were faced with. I don't know what ultimately happened to them as a bloc, though it sounds like they mostly just assimilated into the broader CPC while shaping the characters of the its theory and praxis.
Ultimately I think the material realities of revolution can in some ways unify tendencies and synthesize a new one out of their concessions to the material situation they find themselves in, and it's the ideological purists who refuse to bend to the necessities of their circumstances, regardless of tendency, that end up on the chopping block for stirring shit up and undermining the unity that a revolution needs to survive in the face of the overwhelming opposition it inevitably finds itself struggling against.
The paris communards were French nationalists and Republicans for the most part. The idea that they were anarchists is a weird thing that's just stuck.
I'd recommend reading "voices of the paris commune" for more of what the communards actually believed
I could have sworn either Lenin or Marx wrote something about how their ideological background was heavily based on Proudhon and some earlier utopian socialists.
The most important thing is that their ideology didn't really matter because they formed an entirely new thing that wasn't based on whatever ideology they subscribed to. Their primitive DotP was entirely a product of the circumstances of their revolution and its class character.
A fantastic example of left unity and the fact that ideological differences tend to fade away in revolutionary moments as the working class realizes its own liberation.
There's a few decent resources out there on Mao-Spontex thought. The ideas of the Mass line and Continuous revolution can be syncretized with anarchist ideals pretty easily.

The Paris workers were also ideologically anarchist when they created the first practical example of a DotP.
