I wouldn't stress about which axis which squadron attempted. The War Diaries in the beginning are well done and very articulate. They got sparser and sparser as the summer and fall progressed. It is entirely possible that tank placements were never fully communicated to HQ, while individual commanders fought their small battles. Some tanks evidently strayed left and right, and jockeyed for position as the fight changed.

But, it is interesting to see how quickly commanders slapped on the spare track or forgot to jettison the wading breathers. One tank looks like its "Quick Fix" applique armour peeled off too.
