How are Reserve Armoured Reconnaisance Squadrons organized,is it still 2 Troops of 6 vehicles and do they have an Assault troop as well?

Unfortunately there is no uniform answer for that question.  Factors that will affect the way each Reserve Armour unit forms their Troops and Squadrons are:

Number of vehicles they hold;
Type of vehicles they hold;
Number of radio installations that are mounted in their vehicles;
Unit strength; and
Number of trained officers and NCOs to create Troops.

An "ideal" ORBAT for what a PRes Armour unit may look like does not meet reality in how each unit forms its Troops, mainly due to numbers mentioned above.

To piggy-back on what Mr. Wallace indicated.

My PRes unit currently has 7 x LUVW on hand. We can run 1 x 6 car tp, with extra LUVW for OC. When we have all 17 vehs on hand (HA!), we can run 2 x 8 car tps, with OC's runner.

We've also conducted exercises with 2 x 5 car tps; 1 x 5 and 1 x 6 car tps; etc.

Pick a permutation

First ex this year, we had 1 x 5 car tp, with the Tp Ldr in a Milcot, and an Assault Tp moving about in a MSVS.
