Like Web said, the 120mm isn't a company level weapon, but as mortars are tougher than people, a company in 2000 will tend to have heavier heavy weapons than in 1996, unless it has to move fast.

The 60mm mortars are, I believe, part of the company's weapon platoon, or in their own mortar section.

2) Do you ever change the number of platoons depending on the type of company? Meaning a mech company is much stronger then a normal infantry company, do you ever bump the number of infantry platoons to compensate?
Normally, no. The number of squads iin a platoon and platoons in a company stays pretty constant. The number of men in a squad can vary, however, and the composition of a heavy weapon section and company can also vary.
