Default D&E Section – OOB 15 Australia

Thought I had posted this already seems to have vanished.

In the Australian OOB there is formation #53 D&E Section. Its dates are 1/46 to 12/120. It has as template Unit #360 Rifle Section Class #195 Engineer Support Squad. But this Unit dates are 1/58 to 12 71.
The end date is not an issue as there are follow on units for this. The start date for Unit #360 of 1/58 is the earliest for units of this class hence from 1/46 to 1/58 this formation #53 D&E Section will appear in the buy screen, Infantry, but its empty.


Unit #359Rifle Section Class #195 Engineer Support Squad has dates of 1/60 to 12/65 and the main weapon layout is .303 Rifle and the .303in Bren LMG.

Unit #360Rifle Section Class #195 Engineer Support Squad has dates of 1/58 to 12/71 and the main weapon layout is 7.62mm SLR, 7.62mm M60 LMG and the L4 7.62mm LMG.

A few things from this:
1. With Formation #53 D&E Section do the dates need fixing?

2. Do the two units #359 and 360 have the correct dates and or weapon layouts?
A .303 rifle and Bren in the 60’s seems at odds at replacing a 7.62mm Rifle and LMG in that period.
