Hi Richard,
I have tac markings for the survey troops of a svy regt 1941 and 1948. Z Tp didn't exist in 1941 but was under RHQ svy regt when these regts were reorganized into two identical batteries in 1942/1943, and was part of the svy bty of a svy regt/obs regt in 1948.
Was Z Tp identical in organization to X and Y Tps in 1944? As far as I can see the only real difference between 1941 and 1948 svy tps is that left and right sections were differently lettered in 1948 with F and O prefixes, while in 1941 they were all O prefixes.
Alternately, if you are able to get your hands on a copy of Artillery Training, Volume I, Pamphlet No 8, 1943, Deployment of a Survey Regiment, the tac markings for the svy regt shown in Appendix I, Organization for Manoeuvre, will be fairly current for the period you want.
