>a forward mounted mortar
A tiny mortar carrier cum Assault Gun for that time period does sound interesting (especially with the PIAT in mind and later war shape charge munitions)-- particularly for paratroopers + say, Schwimmwagens. Early to mid-war before Bazookas and Panzerfaust become ubiquitous, they'd add some extra heavy weapons umf. I suppose they would be deployed with line infantry (Siege of Tobruk) in swarms with the idea of being too small and fast to engage as point targets by fixed AT guns in creeping dispersed assault groups (sort of as in current day Ukraine), with proper Tank overwatch for suppression.
>cooling water, and box of ammo
Perhaps small enough to be vexatious to engage by ground attack aircraft as well-- having trailers with supplies to service heavily engaged units as mules.
