Even if it made the tank cost 2 perks instead of 1?

Can anyone show what a standard "on board" load out was for an M18? When the HVAPCP M93 (High Velocity Armor Piercing Composite Rigid) was available, it would be curious to see if it was distributed evenly or to specific units, etc. I'd like to see the total number of the 76mm AP vs HVAPCP round manufactured between 1944 and 1945.

Anti-tank artillery and tank destroyer units received the lion's share of HVAP rounds, think for the tank destroyers was something like 5-10 HVAP rounds compared to the 2-3 rounds carried by Shermans.
Don't know the break down of the production numbers of the AP round for the 76mm but these are the producton numbers for the M93 and T4 HVAR rounds used with the M7 (M-10 TD )and M1A1 main gun (M4/76 Sherman, M18 TD).
