Default Ammuniton Reserves

I have bene recently reading Brigadier Lathbury's diary for September 17th to 18th 1944 when he was at Arnhem and writes at one point the 'fightning troops' desperately needed the btn's (3rd) carrier bringing up with the reserve ammuntion......

This got me thinking and so the question is how many rounds of .303 ammuntion were allocated to a btn to take on Market Garden?

I'm NOT looking for 200 rounds per man....I'm asking for the reserves that they took.
