The early versions were available as early as 5/48. They were armed with MG34s only. Later, in October 48, they started arming them with cannons. The first were armed with the cannons of H-39 tanks which were found mechanically serviceable and so the guns were reused for the armored cars. others were armed with 2pdr captured guns.
I suggest splitting into 2 units:
Unit 090 should have the 37mm replaced With an MG34. Start date changed to 5/48.
A new unit identical to the current 090 but with weapon 080 37mm SA37 M.39 or weapon 240 2pdr gun. The 2pdr was probably more common but the 37mm is more historically interesting. should be created with start date 10/48.

I'll be changing that but a little differently...the existing unit will get the SA37 and the new unit will be MG only |
