Does anyone know which tanks the 2nd Gloucester Hussars were operating with in late 1941?

Thanks.

Of the 22nd. Armd. Brigade? My usual source lists 47 Crusaders (no mention of which mark; whatever was around at the time I guess) and 4 Crusader CS.

As you wrote, mostly Mark IIs because the I was quickly abandoned in its favour (slightly thicker front armour) and as the III was still in the making.
HTH.
