So a bn of

FO unit
1 or 2 SP mortar platoons (No core off-map arty)
1 or 2 SP AA elements
1 or 2 Mech recce or AT sections
3 tank coy
1 mech coy

Would be about right for the era

(If you did buy off map then make it long range type such as 175mm and voluntarily leave it idle to smack enemy off map arty)
I think a more accurate version is swapping the mech coy for a para company + an attached halftrack company (11 halftracks from the misc section).
