The AFV Situation Report for 5th Army Group 14 February 1945, shows that 1CAB had 152 75mm Sherman Vs (M4A4), 11 17 pdr Sherman IC (M4), 18 105mm Sherman IB (M4), 2 Grant T2 ARV (M31), 2 Valentine Bridge layers and 33 Stuart Recce. (Note that the web site that I saved this information from no longer works)
The information that 14CAR received the 17 pdr Shermans 1C comes from CMHQ Report No 175, para 45. Note that from the AFV returns 14 CAR did not receive any 76mm Sherman 1As.
