Belgian Free Forces Equipment

[MajorTalon]

So my gaming group is going to be holding an event using FoW to game the Ardennes Offensive. I'm gaming the 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate), a unit which was part of the US First Army. While loooking up the Order of Battle for the Bulge, I found this a unit name which grabbed my attention. The 5th Belgian Fusilier Battalion. After looking it up, I found this:

Among Belgians today, the 5th Fusilier Battalion is particularly remembered for its service with the U.S. Army during the Ardennes Offensive.

I have been looking to find what equipment was used by the Free Belgian Forces, and have only found the sources for the 1st Infantry Battalion, which used British equipment. Am I to assume that the 5th used this equipment as well?

For all those who saw the film 'The Battle of the Bulge' with Robert Shaw Telly Savalas and Henry Fonda, it was in reality this unit of Belgian fusiliers that destroyed the American fuel depot. 

There were American and British vehicles in the bataillon. Each bataillon had eg six bren carriers. (with names eg Malou for one of the vehicles in the 5th bataillon (unit raised 07/10/1944 disbanded 31/12/1945
