Working up the elements of my Russian Brigade for Ukraine

For the MLRS Battery I have 6 BM-21 Grads, 6 Ural-375-D's, but what are the other two? I am trying to tell from the picture

The BTR-60-70 at the top for the commander. The other is BMP counter-battery radar.
I hope I have identified the two elements.

I have always seen 2 ACRVs as part of a BM21 battery as well. I'm not familiar with this graphic, but I don't think the BM21s are capable of performing their own fire direction. I have been out of the game for a while though.

I know three batteries of six make a battalion or 18

Could the ACRV’s be at a battalion level and control all 18?

But then that wouldn’t work for a detached battery

BTW I pulled the chart from here I am sort of trying to replicate this except I will break it down into units and then add back together

I might do three tank companies and one infantry company or the reverse, etc.

Possibly a PRP3 Small Fred. GHQ doesn't have one, but Legions IV Hire does in 1/285.

The command vehicle is a BTR-60-1V118 Artillery Command vehicle. You find this in towed and MRL artillery battalions. The other one is a PRP-3 or 4.
