Chris: Both 302Trooper and I are correct about call signs.
As 302 Trooper posted, 89 is the OC HQ Sqn in an Armoured unit, whilst 89 is also OC Admin Coy in an infantry unit. In order to distinguish just who is who on, for example, a joint infantry/armoured cooperative tasking, arm indicators are used. So, if an infantry unit and an armoured unit were participating in a joint mission, how could anyone figure out who was who, since they had the same call sign. That's where arm indicators come in. The prefix India or Kilo are used for infantry; the prefix Tango or Uniform are used for armour, i.e. OC HQ Sqn Armoured unit wants to communicate with OC Admin Coy Infantry unit the process would be: I89 this is T89, blah, blah, blah, over... References: B-GL-011-00E/FT-K01. ACP 125 CANSUPP-1(B) I guess this sorta explains why the side mounted GPMG was there.
