268 4.5in Howitzer - proper icon is 2115 - current has way too long barrel. Same for 582 Colonial 4.5" H

482 LMG Team - photo shows Bren - it could be replaced with Lewis (eg. 27096 - I've found no better). Same for 631 Home Guard MG

139, 477, 478, 538 Rifle Section - a photo shows single Bren, better suited to LMG section, than Rifle Section - better picture is 12507 or 12516 in case of later ones

171 Churchill I CS - its designation was II CS in fact.

501 Lt Cruiser - correct picture is 511 (now it's destroyer size)

581 Colonial 18 Pdr - proper icon is 2113, as unit 127

583 Colonial 6in FH - proper icon seems 2116, as unit 257

584 Bren AAMG - picture 16020 is not Bren AAMG, rather some ZB. Same for unit 633. I'm attaching a proposal.

587 Colonial Scouts - picture shows Bren section. 12848 seems better, as unit 589.

663 Churchill Ics2 - I've found no info on existence of variant with two howitzers...

Pictures show among others correct Insect class gunboat (with two funnels abreast), Buffalo with Polsten gun, etc.

From the war diary of the North Irish Horse:

http://www.northirishhorse.net/articles/1-3.html where they state that IIcs was for the later rework of these tanks where the 2nd 3inch in the hull was replaced with a BESA when the supply of 3in howitzers was getting short.

paragraph 2 onwards + photo

A modelling site with the version (with its panzer 3 cupola)

A diorama of the same regiment's churchill with 2x3in:

I cant find any info on anyone else that the North Irish Horse having the "double-banger" version. They already have mixed Churchill and Sherman squadrons in the OOB - they had an eclectic mix of AFV!
