The engineers were SS Sturmpionieres. I don't know what the date of the battle was, but my current battle is 4/1941 so the battle where I had problems wouldn't be any later than that.

At this point, none of the 2pdrs should have HE. Traditional thinking by the British at the time was a 40mm HE round was too small to be effective so they didn't bother with it. They found themselves at a disavantage in gun duels with German ATGs, either 37mm or 50mm, that the finally figured out they needed some sort of HE rounds. I don't know when all this happened, however.
