LOL. I was editing my first post with my source when you were posting your question.

I was working from memory when I posted my comment about the 2nd Anti-Tank Regiment. They were actually issued to the Polish 7th Anti-Tank Regiment of Polish 2nd Corps in Italy in September. They were also issued to the Polish 2nd Anti-Tank Regiment/Polish 2nd Armoured Division in Italy in the immediate post-war period.

Here are two relevant photos from the Gawrych book.
