Does anyone know what tanks equipped the 79th Armd Div's regiments between June 6, 1944 and VE day? I'm specifically looking for the following:

1st Tank Brigade:
11 RTR
42 RTR
49 RTR

30th Armoured Brigade:
22d Dragoons
1st Lothians and Border Horse
2d County of London Yeomanry (Westminster Dragoons)
141 RAC
