Armored Cars of Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 37, 1940

Hi.

Does anyone here know what types of armor cars Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 37 fielded in the 1940 campaign?

In particular, I'm interested in the heavy AC company. Did they have PSW 232s? 231(8R)? 231(6R)?

Thanks,
M

If anyone has some sort of educated guess, that's also much welcome.

According to Niehorster's organizational chart, the unit had two armored var companies, each of which had ten 20 mm guns and 25 light machine guns. This would indicate the Sd Kfz 222, Sd Kfz 231, or the Sd Kfz 232, or a combination thereof. There might also have been other machine gun armed armored cars.
