One thing missing is a planned ant-tank variant pitched to the Army, while still called the HC-1 (pre -46).
If only!!!

Grokipedia

I would recommend that for those interested in detail and historical accuracy that you actually make a Grokipedia account. That will allow you to offer corrections to improve the site (just as Wikipedia has done for years).

I've already suggested a couple detail improvements for the CH-46 page. With more to come.

The info I found stated it was a missile launcher, but it sure looks like recoilless to me!

Here's one mounted under an A-4.


And another USMC proposal to mount under an OV-10.
