Rob there seems to be a misunderstanding here. An Anti-tank regiment is made up of four batteries. Each battery has three troops and each troop has three guns. The troops in each battery are as followers;
Senior Battery – A, B & C troops
2nd Bty – D, E, & F troops
3dr Bty – G, H & I troops
Junior Bty - J, K, & L troops
The tac signs shown on the guns consist of a letter and a number. The letter refers to the Troop while the number refers to the gun and not the battery. In the photo you posted the I-2 indicates that it is the No. 2 gun of I Troop
