I suggest to change class of unit 703 to 39 SP-gun, make it available in 5/32-3/39 (before the war only) and create a formation of two vehicles like "Prot. SPG Plt" or "Exp. SPG Plt" (until 9/39).

704 TKD - there was no vehicle with 47mm Vickers gun, BUT it should be changed to actually used in combat TKS-D prototype, with #13 37mm wz.36 L45 gun, ammo: 68 rounds in total, crew 4, available 4/37-9/39, class 39 SP-gun, photo 29799.

Better class would be 139 Self propelled gun, so it is farther in armour purchase screen, as an experimental formation.
Although a name TKS-D is commonly used in books, but it seems, that a form TK-SD was more original (BTW: newer publications claim, that a tankette TKS was in fact written as TK-S in documents, so unit 426 might be changed).
Flamethrowers:
- There should be added infantry flamethrower units in 1930-39, class eg. 170 (there's no units in this class before 1940).
A flamethrower section reportedly had 7 men, with two #93 flamethrowers, carbines and probably grenades. Unit 500 may serve as a pattern, but I'll attach a photo of Polish FT's.
A section should be used in a flamethrower squad of 3 sections. A single section might be a formation as well.
- There should be also added flamethrower units of Warsaw Uprising, in 8/44-9/44 (

A section should consist of 4 men, with pistols and one FT. Good and unused class seems 235 Partisan pioneer.
It should be used in single sections rather.
