Yes it is true and very well known to students of the Crimean Campaign. Try googling "Mechanised/Motorised Detachment Korne" and you should find lots of information. It changed composition several times.

Not quite correct, especially since the make-up of the detachment varied.

YAN, just a suggestion: try reading through the website as well. You will find a lot of information there.
