Tovarischi,
As an additional note here are some numbers from the "Lend Lease " documents regarding small arms.
Under the section 3A in the "guns" for the USSR here is what is listed.
Submachine, Cal..45, (all types) 137, 729
Now it also is important to read the following statement as part of the documentation:
"All armament that is standard equipment on aircraft, tanks, self- propelled weapons, and other combat vehicles is included with the planes or vehicles. Such armament is not listed again under specific groups such as small arms, artillery, etc. Separate shipments of armament items for use with planes, tanks and combat vehicles are included in the artillery or small arms groups."
So folks if such items as Thompsons and Grease guns(and ammo) were part of equipment packages then you will need to take the number of such vehicles and add those small arms(and ammo) on those vehicles on to the overall total.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Dima
(if it is correct then do it)
