Yeah, IMO the Alaskan Campaign would most likely change the function of the reserve force just how you put it. Your idea regarding the brigade's vehicles and equipment I also agree with. And like you already know, the terrain in British Columbia, Yukon and such is also suitable for light units, so lacking armor wouldn't be a serious issue anyways.
You might already know this too, but I forgot to mention towed artillery. While inventories of armored vehicles are understrength, the reserves have a fair amount of towed 105mm guns in their arty regiments.
