NOTES: I took the liberty of using Excel to add up the sub categories. Sorry I can't figure out how to properly set up the columns here, but they are properly divided.

For those who do not know, TRV is Tank Recovery Vehicle and Prime Mover is artillery towing vehicle, mostly for large artillery weapons like the 8" gun

CDL was an acronym for "Canal Defense Light" which was a cover name given to tanks armed with a large searchlight under armor to be used to light up a night time battle for friendlies and blind the enemy.
