About the Thompson in the pre 1941 HQ: I was always under the impression that the British only ordered Thompsons per Lend and lease AFTER the experience of the 1940 campaign. Before that, NCOs and officers carried pistols.

You may well be right. I know for a fact that even Home Guard units had the Thompson in March 1941, which is three years earlier than the carbine, but I'll look into this and post what I find.
