Nice job with the labels! 
I see that you didn't try to label any of the Funnies Equipment...maybe you could do that with arrows from the other side.

I tried but I'm still not completely certain what each of those things are...
I can identify the bridge builder, but I'm not sure whether the roller-looking thing is the carpet-layer bobbin, or flail chains in action. I don't know what the criss-cross looking thing is either since it has rollers on the bottom.
I also obviously don't know the correct names for these devices 
I'll be glad to update the graphic if someone can tell me for sure what they should be called!
thanks!

maybe something like this (but this one is a little to big)

Nice! Looking forward to using the figures in future amphibious scenarios!

Each of Hobart's funnies seems to be able to function as a:
1) fascine carrier (on each tank shown)
2) bridging unit
3) mat layer with bobbin (note the front bar on the roller)
AND
4) AMRCR with mine-rollers (difficult to find pictures of this one, but a model was made at http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/esci/build_esci_804 9.shtml)
I think this is accurate

And what new rules for each would you expect?
Fascine - bridge a trench or stream?
Bridging unit - bridge a trench or stream?
Mat Layer - remove 2 hex movement restriction on beach or sand?
AMRCR - remove a mine
Bulldozer breach a hedgerow?

And don't forget that 'blow up bunkers with 290 mm shells'
If the 290 only hits at one hex (just speculating). Could be fun attacking/defending against them.

One item you are missing is the AVRE with the petard.
I know you don't see it in the DOW image, but trust me I have it from a very reliable source that it is also in the package.

I'm a bit off-topic, but does anyone know why they made those things with such a short barrel? Isn't a longer barrel always more advantageous? I would think a longer barrel would be more accurate, have greater velocity, etc.

Well i presume if you get home late from work and you have to park it in your garage, its more easy with that short barrel,
even after a drink or 2.

In fact, this is not really a gun, it's a mortar. You can see the shell on the image on the right and looks like a dustbin, so it was named "Flying dustbin". This mortar was planned to break enemy bunkers on the beach. The crew have to be outside of the tank to load the "flying dustbin" in the mortar.

Stevens,
I've been proven wrong before, but if the original post is correct, i.e., "186 plastic figures in total", and if all the Hobart's funnies attachments are included in that number AND if the picture represents what is in the box, then I can't see how (numerically) there are any more figures in the pack. You see, I've counted (and recounted several times) 187 "figures" from the picture. But I really do hope your source is correct! Perhaps that is a surprise bonus beyond the 186 (187?) count.

If you look back at some of the original posts about the Equipment Pack, you'll find that Antoine, from DoW said that there is a Hobart Funny that destroys bunkers...and looking at the picture, I don't see an attachment that might be able to do that...so there must be some items that aren't included in the image.

From the Equipment Pack product page it looks like 1 Hobart AND it's attachments counts as 1 figure towards the 186. That means we can't know how many attachments will be included.

Counting up the figures from the product page shows a total of 174. The three Hobarts attachments I named adds 18 more to push the tally to 192 (I think you're correct, Stig). So, unless DoW enlightens us, we'll just have to wait to learn the difference. In any event, the picture of the arrangement of figures doesn't seem to completely match the description. Hopefully, it means MORE figures as Stevens suggested. Another thought: maybe the Hobart armor IS the AVRE Stevens wrote about.

I believe 'Hobarts Funnies' and AVRE (Armoured Vehicle, Royal Engineers) are synonymous.

BINGO!!!
The (6) AVRE come with at least FIVE different attachments. But not ALL are shown in the image. I gave a hint earlier...
