A Few More Newbie questions

Apologies for another "dumb questions" post (maybe a stickied thread could eliminated these unless there's a discord for FoW?).

  1. I have the Dunkirk starter box, and I've noticed that there's an HMG crew that isn't on the cards. I'm guessing this means I shouldn't build those, as it'll steal bases from something else. However, what would I need to properly field them? Do I need to build a deck of unit cards for their stats along with a pack of bases?

  2. While I haven't fully assembled the Dunkirk box, I am eying the Fortress Europe box as well. What is the value of the starter boxes compared with just buying unit boxes? I plan on collecting multiple factions so I can invite friends to play using my stuff without them needing to invest, so I don't mind having "too many" things. Is it still worth it to buy the second starter box at this point?

  3. I have a hankering for building a Canadian army, even if there aren't specific rules and they're just run as British. Does anybody have suggestions for doing this? The Dunkirk box has BEF infantry, which kind of rules out using them, and I'd probably want to just focus on the vehicles that Canada fielded, but beyond that, are there infantry suggestions to buy or anything else I'm not thinking about?

I need help identifying the bits on this sprue from Wargames Illustrated

I got a Vickers Light tank with this month’s issue of WI, but it appears to have some extra bits and I’m not sure what they’re for. I highlighted them in the second picture. I’ve been looking at pictures of the real tank for a while and can’t figure out where to put them.
