Thing is, you have 3 mech sections, 3 APCs, 2 gun APCs, 2 command sections (CO & XO), 2 AT teams, 2 snipers...
Total of 14 units, a bit over the top for a platoon.
For now I have modelled it this way:

-Unit 1: "Pzgrenadier Sqd", CO (class 70, 7 men, AUG/sniper/CG/grenade)
-Unit 2: Saurer 4K7FA-GA (class 122, 20mm)
-Unit 3: "Pzgrenadier Sqd", XO (class 70, 7 men, AUG/sniper/CG/grenade)
-Unit 4: Saurer 4K7FA-GA (class 122, 20mm)
-Unit 5: "Pzgrenadier Sqd", combat sec (class 69, 8 men, AUG/LMG/LAW/grenade)
-Unit 6: Saurer 4K7FA (class 25, 12.7mm)
-Unit 7: "Pzgrenadier Sqd", combat sec (class 69, 8 men, AUG/LMG/LAW/grenade)
-Unit 8: Saurer 4K7FA (class 25, 12.7mm)
-Unit 9: "Pzgrenadier Sqd", combat sec (class 69, 8 men, AUG/LMG/LAW/grenade)
-Unit 10: Saurer 4K7FA (class 25, 12.7mm)

As such, there is no place for more separate units, sadly.
And as Don said, 2-3-men command squads will always be priority targets and easier to kill. Merging them with the 4-men CG team gives already more resilience.
You are right, I just modeled the Jaeger company and found that a Jaeger platoon, as Siddhi proposed, would have 12 sections, including the vehicles... 10 is the maximum... we have to reduce that- and given the poor radios, most units would constantly be out of contact,,,
