The two Indian squadrons were made up of volunteers from the 3rd Motor Brigade, which had been hit hard at El Mechili. Their officers were Rand, Nangle and Cantlay.
This fascinating bit of PathΓ© footage claims to be of the Indian LRDG. Great posed scenes with Marmon-Herrington armoured car & Chevrolet truck with 25 pdr on the back. (I can't find a photo of the Indian LRDG online, but I'm sure they must exist) youtu.be
Postscript to that film. The unit is the Guides Cavalry, who famously navigated through the Qattara Depression. Thanks to @iamabofh for the link to this article thefridaytimes.com
