The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

This may have been asked already but is there an overview of what infantry weapons would have been used in the war after 1954?

It was stated that the M14 is the standard weapon of the U.S. and other A4-allied countries. I guess the British and Commonwealth members of the A4 would have used the equivalent of an FN FAL. If not, maybe a Sterling submachine gun.

FAL is a Belgian design so probably not.

Without the FAL, Britain and the Commonwealth probably use the Lee Enfield, Sten, or Sterling SMG up until someone gets the idea to develop semi-automatic rifles.

Why wouldn't they just use the M14? If the only other option is a bolt action there's not really that much of a choice is there?

Here is what I think is a great candidate for the Atomic Four flag.

While I understand the American star is red for balancing, would it not be better if the U.S. uses the shield on the crest of the Great Seal?

OTL USA too use stars on some places outside of its flag. And that red star hardly would disturb anyone since harldy anyone even bother to try associate with communism.

I guess the A4 would look like this. This is OTL map of U.S. allies and partners.

If someone could do a similar map of A4 partners and allies, that would be great.

Good map. It does somehow resembles OTL's map of U.S. allies and partners.

Shouldn't really be a shock. The core elements of NATO were the wartime allies after all. Excepting the European bits (wreaked, tarred with a decade of collaboration) pretty much the same groups came together OTL and stayed together out of need post war.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but what were the exact units that the British Army put in the field during the Hot War? In terms of field armies, corps and divisions, what did Britain field?

Given that Britain in OTL faced manpower shortages in 1944, did Britain ITTL end up relying heavily on colonial units to bolster numbers (perhaps encouraging colonial forces with promises of independence?)

If anyone could answer this, I'd be grateful.

@BurkeanLibCon not sure when India gained its independence off the top of my head but it did so much heavy lifting for the British Empire that when it did (immediately postwar IIRC) they were pretty much automatically in the top five most powerful countries on Earth

I believe India got independence in Calbear's world in 1961, a year after the war ended but I don't remember for definite.

Alongside India, were there any other major commitments from the empire in the Hot War phase, maybe from Africa or Malaysia?
