The 1939 establishment for a machanized cavalry regiment in India

I always like to see details about unit establishments. Duncan Crow has the establishment for cavalry regiments in India in 1939. The 17/21st Lancers is an example of such a unit. The unit establishment included 21 officers and 460 men. Its equipment included:
  • 15 scout cars
  • 12 8-cwt trucks
  • 19 15-cwt trucks
  • 11 carriers for personnel
  • 41 light tanks (some variety of Lt.Mk.VI)
  • 22 30-cwt trucks
  • 2 water tank trailers
  • 1 motorcycle
  • 1 van
  • 1 recovery tractor
