Default British OOB June 1944 - additional formations?

I have just been reading "British Tanks of WWII - Vol 1 -France/Belgium '44" by David Fletcher (whom some may know).

It includes a few formations of which I was unaware, and which are not modelled in the game.

a) Motor Battalion Scout (or Carrier) Platoon: including 11 Carriers, this provided the reconnaissance element of the Battalion. Each Carrier was fitted with a Bren LMG and Boys ATR; one held a PIAT and two others had the 2in. mortar whist the remainder were equipped with a 4in smoke discharger.

b) Reconnaissance Corps - created to provide a reconnaissance facility for infantry Divisions. Each reconnaissance Troop was organised on the basis of a HQ Section (one Armoured car, one Carrier and two motorcycles) and a reconnaissance Section of two armoured cars, two Scout cars and two sections each with three Carriers.

There do not appear to be any motorcycles in the British OOB.

I hope these comments may be of some interest.
