Heh. But Bonnesens work on the danish army in itīs postwar infancy (the period when BOTH british and swedish weapons, plus german leftovers were used) is still a bit lacking. I am hoping that I can add some information to this, very peculiar and very overlooked time period.

The Danish OOB could certainly do with more work, so knock yourself out
IIRC the OOB I started to work on was more or less the SP2 disaster area with some minor corrections, so just about anything was an improvement. As you correctly point out, my thing is mainly the Danish Army in the 1945-1960 period and mainly about the armoured components. Aside from that, I just added what I had picked up here and there and tried to make a coherent OOB out of it. Trying to match up the units across time to allow the computer to do a decent pick also took a good deal of effort!
At the time, I did not make too much out of the many varieties of infantry weapons used, as it would've bloated the OOB with essentially identical units with identical performance using differently named weapons. But I guess that is a matter of temperament - I could easily live with one weapon - "rifle" - representing the various types used

I am also a Danish Army reservist. Does that count too ;-)

Nah, knowing what you are doing is what really counts
Btw, Andy gave me some undeserved credit, I have in fact never served in the army, I'm just interested in some types of military kit and organisation out of a general historical interrest.
Looking forward to your improved Danish OOB!
