It is not just Tanks, it is AFVs so includes sdkfz etc.

If you add AFV's like the Sdkfz here it summs more then 170! [:(]

I don't think the AFVs count the sdkfzs but it probably does count that SP Inf Company you have attached to the division. You have 164 tanks plus whatever is in that attached company.

Here it's right - here it's easy.

Confusing!

Don't think "Tank"; think "Armoured Fighting Vehicle".

Only specific type of Armored Cars are counted. Usually with HMG or Mortar.

They were for a good deal of the war not used as armoured fighting vehicles, but were initially employed as armoured taxi's. It took even the Germans a while to learn that the Sd.Kfz 251's and 250's were the weapon and what gave them an edge. The armament of an MG or two for standard models was also not too impressive, which is why the special variants stand out and are as such included as AFV's. Also keep in mind that the majority of the halftracks are abstracted into a squad and are not a seperate unit (contrary to the heavy weapons halftracks that are listed).
