trucks in 15 cwt - 1 ton range
Until pacific, 43 Armoured Div mainly in Australia.
In SWP, few M3 light most mainly Matildas in trooops of 3, as 2 Gun tanks and 1 CS tank. Also some very few M3 mediums used late 45.
The details for 15 MR was the official list, like all things there were variations depending on equipment.
Also later many motor cycles were replaced with jeeps. I can not remember teh dat but I do have a list of teh initial jeep allocation with in 1 Armoured somewhere in my notes. Some Sub HQ also had jeeps allocated when fully introduced.
Later on Machine Gun Bns were allocated jeeps instead of the carrier.
