That document is still pretty early in the cycle for flamethrower development. There were a few wrinkles coming by late Summer '45.

BTW; regarding the M5A1 with E-7-7 Flamethrower on Luzon:

A friend of mine looking through documents I photographed found a 28 July 1945 Gen Krueger high priority air shipment spares request for the four E-7-7/M5 Stuart Flamethrower tanks being shipped to Mindanao for use with 8th Army.
