You'd better look again.

They appear correctly in the game 8/44 for the Priest Kangaroo- unit 195 ( first used in Operation Totalise) and 10/44 for the Ram Kangaroos- unit 53 and it's been like that in the Canadian OOB for over a decade. There were a few Ram versions ready in September but those really weren't used until October '44 but that time period is covered by the Priest conversions so there IS complete coverage by the various Kangaroo types from Augst 1944 onward and in the Brit OOB there are three versions but those ( rightly ) do not start unit October 44. If a Brit player wants 'Roos before then they have to borrow them from the Candians as in RL
