It isn't written directly, but according to a new booklet on Polish Maxims, a cavalry mount for wz.08 HMG, taken from the Schwarzlose, "enabled quick conversion for AA fire", comparing with MG-08 sledge mount. Probably there was an additional mast mounted (it could be mounted on some Polish trucks, carts and even horse wagons). I'll attach a photo of early taczanka.

Then, unit 548 Taczanka, apart from icon 3492, should be available from 1/36.
There could be "wz.28" or "wz.36" added to names, but it's not necessary IMO.

Could you please clearly explain what it is you want me to do here .

What point would there be in having one start 1/30 and another start 1/36 if the MG.08 is a AAMG ? There is no purpose to having 2

If it was an AAMG or not does not really depend solely on the mount, but on whether AA sights were provided or not. Hitting aerial targets of faster than 100 km/h with ground sights is pretty much hopeless. Tracers help a little, but still aligning the target without the reference points provided by an AA sight is very difficult. Adjusting lead without speed rings is extremely hard as well (even a single ring is much better than none). Ring and bead sights were certainly crude, but much better than nothing. Hitting a fast moving aerial target without an AA sight would be like hitting a ground target with a rifle at 25+ meters without using the sights (Rambo style

). Except more difficult.
