One could infer from Luxembourg's omission from the NATO Vehicle Guide, or any other canonical NATO ORBAT that I'm aware of, that it remained neutral or, more likely, was subsumed by the Franco-Belgian Union at some point during the Twilight War.
That gives Ref's tabula raza, as far as Luxembourg is concerned. Perhaps a unit of Luxembourgian volunteers served in the German Army during WWIII.

That makes a great deal of sense. I can't picture Luxembourg sending its entire company-sized force eastward to accompany NATO-maybe attaching a platoon to Dutch or German forces.
I have to agree with you that Luxembourg was probably absorbed by the French-Belgian coalition with perhaps a few surviving personnel loyal to NATO fighting on with whomever.
At one point during the Cold War I remember that a number of AWACS were "flagged" as being from Luxembourg even though Luxembourg did not have an air force per se. Recovering a Luxembourg flagged AWACS hidden away somewhere might make for a T2K adventure plot/maguffin...
