But then I try to verify it and cant find anything to back that up
See thats one of the issues with the OOB's - i.e. I see the area you are referring to and as you said there are no M115's there - and yet earlier it says they have them

IISS lists all equipment in the army, air force and navy (also marines, coast guard and other para-military), and that's what makes it the best source for data that I have ever come across. Others sources also seem to reference it a lot. However it generally does not list the numbers of ATGM's or light mortars in an army unless they are on a vehicle.
The only towed artillery that Belgium has by 1990 are 105mm M101's, all others are SP howitzers.
