I did some calculations again. Presuming that the enemy point total was 10728 points, and 274 points were awarded for overload, this would suggest that the points total for the AI artillery was around 3766 points.

If all of the off-map assets would have been bought as general support (50 % discount), then the listed AI artillery force could have been bought for 3196 (including the on-map howitzers), which is under the value given.

Assuming that one of the 25 pdr field regiments was under full control, and all other off-map assets were general support, then the points total would come to 3700 (including the on-map howitzers), which would be quite close.

Description of the artillery barrage thinning down after the really scary initial bombardments might also be an indication of the artillery having been general support.
