Will the AT Version of the AC (1942) be used for the AC recon support-brigade (if you just build this version)?

If so, does the different stats matter in this case?

My exp with light tanks suggests no.
I wanted tank destroyer recon and the designer only uses normal light tanks.

Light tank destroyers are a different equipment type than light tanks. Anti-tank armored cars are not a different equipment type than armored cars.

Yes they will.

Yes they do. ACAT have bugged double recon, so no other recon company even compares. And recon company piercing stat is not reduced from the equipment base stats the way their attacks (-90%) or defense/breakthrough (-50%) are. Though for some reason, probably also a bug, mot recon defense is only -9% but not breakthrough, that's still -50%.

in battle there seems to be some kind of information bonus (15%?) - is this not based on better recon?

It is not. That is your spies, radar, air superiority, and other things. As best I could tell through my testing, recon did not seem to have any impact on combat other than the initiative and tactics rolls.
