Thanks to Ikey's googling, we have some documentation on re-organized Wehrmacht Infanterie Divisions in 43-45.

The Infantry Division 1943 - 1945

From 1943 until 1945 the basic infantry Division was reorganised. The level of manpower was reduced, but a corresponding attempt to maintain the level of firepower was made.
Within the Division the reconnaissance Battalion was deleted and instead a bicycle mounted reconnaissance Platoon was introduced within every Regiment. The anti-tank Battalion was motorised to a degree, consisting of an armoured anti tank Company equipped with 14 JagdPanzers, which could be JgdPzr IV's, Hetzers or Stug's, organised into three Platoons of 4 vehicles and an HQ section of 2 vehicles, a motorised anti tank Company consisting of 12 x 75mm Pak 40 guns, towed by either lorry or halftrack and a motorised AA Company equipped with 12 x 20mm or 37mm AA guns. The engineer Battalion also took over the role of the heavy weapons Company. It was comprised of three engineer Companies, each equipped with 2 x 81mm mortars, 2 x MG's with sustained fire mounts and 6 portable flamethrowers. The engineer Battalion under ideal circumstances would be mounted in trucks, however by this stage of the war heavy equipment would often be horse drawn and the troops would be mounted on bicycles.
At Regimental level an anti-tank Company was added which consisted of a Platoon equipped with 3 x 50mm Pak 38 guns and 2 Platoons equipped with Panzerfausts. Within the Regiments, the number of infantry Battalions was reduced to two. Some Divisions had a fusilier Battalion attached, which was organised identically to a rifle Battalion, but was mounted on bicycles. It would sometimes act as the Divisions reconnaissance force.
Within the infantry Battalions themselves, changes were made to composition of the support Company. The 6 x 81mm mortars were replaced by 4 x 120mm heavy mortars. Within the rifle Companies, the heavy weapons platoon saw its 3 x 50mm mortars replaced with 2 x 81mm mortars.

Points of note

The Fusilier Battalion replaced the old Reconnaissance unit. However, the Battalion contained only one Bicycle equipped Company, but in all other respects was identical to the Grenadier Battalion.

The Regimental Infantry Gun Company could be equipped with twelve 8-cm mortars instead of light guns. The Regimental Anti-tank Company had numerous possible combinations of equipment aside from that given above. Each Grenadier Regiment lost its third Battalion.

There were several variations for the Anti-tank Battalion. It could have one Company with fourteen 7.5-cm or 7.62-cm self-propelled equipments (three Platoons of four, plus a Headquarters of two guns), one Assault Gun Company, and a Flak Company. Or it could have one towed Company with twelve 7.5-cm guns and one self-propelled Company with fourteen equipments, plus a Flak Company. Or, it could be reduced to a single Company with twelve towed 7.5-cm anti-tank guns.Divisional Troops
