I have some Staff Tables (TO&Es) from a now defunct website
(Militarytablesoforganization.com) that had the following listed in very
good detail.

They show 3 tank troops (platoons) for a Cavalry Light Tank Regiment as
of May '38, an Armoured Regiment in July of '43 for the Mid East and an
Armoured Regiment of May '45 (Cruisers or infantry). I think in each
case they're 4 troops of 3 tanks. Even the Light Armoured Regiment
(Wheeled) from '40 shows three "Tank, Light, Wheeled" in each troop but
with 5 troops. This is of course armoured cars with a 2 pounder or
perhaps a 15mm Besa.

The Army Tank Brigades (with Churchills) may have been different, but I
don't think so.

Gotta love old British Staff Tables and trying to find what works.
