Default Humbers

Thank you indeed, Hanno!

Humbers. I have not come across such ACs on Java before. Obviosly they were arriving together with "Blackforce":

CO LtCol (Brig) Blackburn VC
2/3 MG Btn (Aus, LtCol Lyneham)
2/2 Pioneers (Aus, LtCol Williams)
Guard Btn (Aus, Maj Champion de Crespigny)
2/6 Field Coy Engineers (Aus)
105 General Transport Coy (Aus)
2/3 Reserve Motor Transport Coy (Aus)

B Sqn 3rd King´s Own Hussars (British, Maj William-Powett)

2nd Btn/131 Field Artillery (less one Bty) (US, LtCol Tharp)

So where does the Humbers fit in? Were they in the 2/3 MG Btn? Quote: "With their armoured transport". Were the Humbers an organizational part of the 2/3 MG Btn or just used as means of transport? How many were they on Java?

Thanks again
