So, I start:

1.- I like to have complete units. So, for start I need to have 1 complete unit with MG. I think to have: 2 rattler/tricycle with MG, 1 tricycle ammo-carrier & 1 tricycle with the fire commander.
2.- the same with light artillery battery.
3.- inspired by BaronVonJ I need to have a rocket battery, i.e. 2 tricycle rocket launchers, 1 tricycle ammocarrier and 1 tricycle for the commander.
My idea to name them is: Light Mobile Artillery (and support)

What you think? any further suggestions for conversions etc?

Sounds good.  About the ammo carrier: the trike would look nice as prime mover with the ammo carried in a 2 wheel cart (fairly large wheels) towed behind.  You might also provide the gun carriages with a tow hook: in case the ammo prime mover is hit, the ammo might be "saved" by one of the guns.  For the commander I would suggest binoculars (or a "glass") mounted on a pintle in front of him. Just a thought...
