Sorry to post in a wrong site, I didn't notice this subforum.

Yep, you are right, they didn't have ATW in their rifle companies, from Sergeant Manole Zamfir War memories it seems they deal with enemy tanks mostly with Molotov cocktails:

"As for the anti-tank weapons, the situation was even worst. The grenades were ineffective and they had no mines or special AT weapons. They used Molotov cocktails, with pretty good results. Tank crews surrendered after their tank started to burn"

So perhaps adding the molotov as 4 weapon slot to some infantry squad isn't historically inaccurate. BTW I wasn't complaining, just wanted to comment their (IMHO) main weakness.

Thanks for consider this option.
