All, 

I grabbed my handy copy of “The British Army in WWII: A Handbook on the Organization, Armament, Equipment, Ranks, Uniforms, etc. 1942” Greenhill books (A reprint of TM 30-410 Handbook on the British Army, with supplement on the Royal Air Force and Civil Defence Organizations dated 13 Sept 1942).  In that book on page 33 Section 31 Anti-aircraft and anti-tank paragraphs a and b I found in part in part:

1. “Each infantry division contains an organic light anti-aircraft regiment…  In combat on light anti-aircraft battery (U.S. Battalion) … may be attached to the infantry brigade.”
   
   
2. “The divisional light anti-aircraft regiment is armed with fifty-four 40-mm Bofors AA guns…”

Of course it is very likely that unit structures changed as the war progressed and what were temporary attachments became more permanent.  Equally likely is that these “standard attachments” were not reflected in the T/O and Es.  Also true that weapons systems and numbers of guns changed but these would have been reflected in published T/O and Es. 

Best,

For NZ  was Section Left or Right, each of 3 40mm Guns. The sections (with Troop HQ) make up a Troop (6 guns) in late 1941 (, before this sections were 2 guns and troops of 4 guns and Battery’s of 12 Guns,the NZ Division only had 3 A/A Battery’s (36 guns) in its 14^th AA  Regiment as the 4^th   was never Formed ( The 44^{th )}
