Are the rules different for Tank Bde & Mtn Div then for Rifle Div and Cav Div?

I'm playing 41GC vs AI and its the first Feb turn, I've got 30+ Gds Rifle and most of the Cav Corps are Guards, but I have zero Gds Tank Bde or Mountain Div.

Plenty of them are eligible.

Using latest patch.

9.2.2.1.
Guards Number Limits
While not exact, there are limits to the number of each type of unit (infantry, armour, mountain, artillery, etc.) that may become guards units.
The size of the unit may impact the percentages, with larger units having more impact than smaller ones. There is no limit on the number of
cavalry or airborne combat units that may become guards units.
The limit for motorized type units is approximately 35 percent. For non-motorized type units, the approximate percentage limit varies by year
as follows:

1941 – 5 percent

January - June 1942 -10 percent

July - December 1942 – 17 percent

1943 – 25 percent

1944 – 30 percent

9.2.2.3.

When the Soviets combine combat units to form a corps combat unit, if two or three of the units are already Guard units, then the Corps formed will be a Guard Corps. Otherwise the Corps combat unit will not have a Guards designation or the morale bonus.
