Question about historical accuracy

First of all, this question is not related with the korea mod that i'm working on. It has to do with another one that i'm working alone.

Would be very historicaly inaccurate to represent WP units until company level? Or due to the tactics that they used would be better to represent them only until battalion level?

And that's another question, how many men would form a WP coy? according to my sources would be 97 men, 10 rifle squads, 3 RPG teams, 3 Heavy MG teams and one AA (strela) team.

Is this correct? because it seems very few men for a company compared with the 153 men of the USA's coy.

Also... about the tank coys a WP tank coy is formed by 10 tanks right? so a tank btn would be 31 tanks (3 coys plus a "leader" tank) and an USA tank coy would be formed by 17 tanks. Wouldn'it?

Oh! BTW, mind that i'm refering in the early 70s...
