Quite possibly. Tieke in '..Firestorm...' describes the Allied forces as 'British tanks' but then mentions ' 200 American and British tanks' ( p.217 of the English translation ).

The battle of September 2nd was largely waged, as Erich has said, by 18 8.8cm Flak guns of SS-Flak Abt. 9 / SS-Pz. AA.9 which were mostly responsible for knocking out an estimated number of 40 Allied tanks.
