I think the squad AT guy/team would be on his own, if he wants LMG covering fire then better that the 2IC is directing that.

You are right chuck. If we split a section into it's two component parts for fire base and movement, it would be 7 men (rifles), 3 men with 1 LMG.

I guess I'd assumed the unit was merely representing a LMG, rather than a 'half' a section, as SP doesn't provide a 7 man rifle team.

cheers,

It is not representing anything, as I said in an earlier post. It is just something an enthusiastic OOB designer added some time back in the past. The section Brens are with the sections, and those units are just some cruft left over, and not deleted just in case some scenario used them.
