AOI uses a mix of counter sheets.  There is most but not all of the Afrika Korps countersheet 3, which contains British infantry and AFV, plus 25lbr artillery but no 18 lbr. There are some British AFV's, aircraft and leaders Indians and Gurkhas are part of a countersheet 4 from Desert Rats, but antitank guns are the only artillery there. There is a 3 row fragment from another countersheet that has Wire, India ACW, NZ tanks and British Humber armoured cars, but still not 18lbr - I'm guessing from Desert Rats?  Italian Infantry and colonials are from the Desert Rats countersheet 3.. Last but not least, there is the South Africa's War countersheet, which does have a pair of 18lbr's in South African colors.

All of this may likely change when the counter sheets are redone for the reprint.
