Afew modern British army questions for those who may know

1) In the 12th Air Defense Regiment -1st UK Armored Division,most of the T.O.&E.s list the unit having 108 HVM Starstreak "launchers". The Stormer vehicle has a 4 cell launcher on each. Does the standard t.o.e. reflect the number of cells per vehicle or are there actually 108 Stormer vehicles in the regiment?
2) Are there still 8 CVR(T) Swingfires(Striker)? in the ATGW platoon in a standard armoured regiment, or have they been eliminated? Are they still in the AT troop of the close recon squadrons?
3) Was the M-578 ARV retained to service the MLRS regiments after the 175mm and 203mm guns were retired?
4) Is the Sabre still in use in the recon platoons in the Mech Infantry battalions? Was the Sabre fielded in just the UK based battalions in 3rd Div or was it used in 1st AD? Were Sabres used in the recon regiments or just the recon troops in the line battalions?
5) Will the Saxon remain in the mech infantry battalions, or have they been converted to all Bulldog and MRAP?
Any info here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
