According to the Divisional History by Hubert Meyer it's aritllery was

Abteilung I (Armoured)
12 x FH and 6 x s.FH (SP) (Wespe and Hummel)

Abteilung II Motorised
18 x FH

Abteilung III Motorised
12 x FH 4 x 10 cm Kannon

There was also a separate werferabteilung 12 with 24 x 15cm nebelwerfer, not under the command of the artillery regiment.

Just looked at Meyer and seen that I misread his hand written chart, it was 6 x 10,5 cm leFH18/40.
