The SdKfz 6/2 (unit 324) has size 5. Actually SdKfz 6 was slightly smaller than SdKfz 7 and should maybe also have a size of 4.

SdKfz 6/2 and 7/2 also should have the same fire control, RF, ROF and survivability (the same gun and arrangement) - but I don't know, which are better. Possibly simpler ones, although in Hasegawa's 7/2 model there was, IIRC, a soldier with a rangefinder

I'm not sure, if class "utility vehicle" is proper - Kfz 69 was a light tractor for 37mm guns, while it isn't used this way (and, apart from Renault UE, all other utility vehicles are staff ones). The problem is, that AT guns are towed by "medium truck" or prime movers.
Now the only "light truck" is Krupp Protze, and the only mixed formation is 112: the Protze with artillery observer, which possibly would rather ride on something size of utility vehicle.
By the way, 997 Horch Kfz.70 should rather be "utility vehicle" (eventually light truck) - now it's medium truck. Besides, it should be available until the end (now 8/43)

Unit number 507 (JPz IV/70V) has size 2 which maybe is right because of it`s low profile (height 1.85m) but then unit 503 and 504 (JPz IV/48) also should have size 2 (the had the same chassis).

As for PzKpfw I, they were smaller, than average light tanks - comparable to T-70 (size 2). JgPz I could also have 2 - low chassis, not too big superstructure.
JgPz IV was much bigger, so 3 is real-like minimum, considering, that Pz IV has 4, and more compact Hetzer has 3.

I'd give this one 4 - easily a size of a tank.
