Interesting challenge which 'forced' me to compile the following
(almost) complete allocation list for Sd.Kfz. 233
Sources used:
- Gen.Insp.d.Pz.Tr. allocation list for Pz.Späh-Wagen May 1943 to April 1945*

- Files of OKH/GenStdH/Org.Abt. and Chef H Rüst u BdE covering fromation, organisation, refit etc. of Pz.Truppen
- T. Jentz, Panzer Tracts 13
[*Note: These allocation files start only in May 1943 and for the most part distinguish only between "le.Pz.Späh-Wg." and "s.Pz.Späh-Wg.". So they are of limited help only. Remarks about exact variants of vehicles are rare, but when found exact shpment dates are shown below.]

Ersatzheer = 1 shipped on 16. Sep. 1943
All told I counted 116 more or less confirmed allocations of Sd.Kfz. 233. That means at least 2 of the not included possible deliveries of (6) each to 15., 21. Pz.Div., 90. lei.Div. in Africa and Pz.Verband 700 can't have happened since only 129 Sd.Kfz. 233 were build!
I think it is likely that the 2. SS-Pz.Div. also received not only 2 but a full platoon of 6 Sd.Kfz., but since I have no evidence I counted only the 2 I could establish for sure.
I also could not find out if there were more Sd.Kfz. 233 among the 10 s.Pz.Sp.Wg. shipped to the replacement army between May and Oct 1943 other than the 1 already listed above.
So I can't claim the above list to be complete and 100% accurate, but as a start not bad don't you think ?
Additions and corrections always welcome!

18. SS-Pz.Gren.Div.: no T.E. s.Pz.Späh-Zug (7,5 cm) authorised, no evidence for delivery or presence of Sd.Kfz. 233 found in available status reports
Ersatzheer = 1 shipped on 16. Sep. 1943
All told I counted 116 more or less confirmed allocations of Sd.Kfz. 233. That means at least 2 of the not included possible deliveries of (6) each to 15., 21. Pz.Div., 90. lei.Div. in Africa and Pz.Verband 700 can't have happened since only 129 Sd.Kfz. 233 were build!
I think it is likely that the 2. SS-Pz.Div. also received not only 2 but a full platoon of 6 Sd.Kfz., but since I have no evidence I counted only the 2 I could establish for sure.
I also could not find out if there were more Sd.Kfz. 233 among the 10 s.Pz.Sp.Wg. shipped to the replacement army between May and Oct 1943 other than the 1 already listed above.
So I can't claim the above list to be complete and 100% accurate, but as a start not bad don't you think ?
Additions and corrections always welcome!
