Support section would only be present in light role infantry units. Mechanised units add a second sergeant to the mix to command the vehicles when the infantry dismount.
NCOs above would not be grenadiers.
Rifle grenades were on issue prior to the GL being issued.
Also being short of numbers the sergeant often had to carry the 51mm.
Signaller and mortar man were usually privates.
