A quick look shows it's not worth a chart since there's not much data on any of the routes. When looked at as a whole, about the only conclusion you can draw is 25% should be small/tramp steamers, 50% should be medium merchants and 25% should be large merchants. Can't really do a breakdown by nationality since there's not enough data points. In those situations it seems reasonable they should be mostly British and Nowegian.

You might mix up some of the convoys a bit. EN and FS seem wieghted to the small end (small merchants and tramp steamers) while BTC/TBC and BB are look more like the split above.

It's not much, but there's not much data. This seems to be true from '42 to '45. I didn't see much for '39 to '41, though that's not much of a surprise to me.
