If I knew I could consistently man the 40mm/37mm myself, I'd just change those, but without being sure I can turn it against aircraft, that might not be a good idea.

That's because it's not the proper method. The actual steps to get the result you're looking for is more of a pain to explain than it is to do. At the moment I'm busy updating my mod, but I can hel you out when I'm done.
You don't need AA shells either because some of the AA guns don't come with AA shells and they still attack air targets. An anti-aircraft shell is just a type of shell, and is not an indication of what it's specifically designed for. The AI will use any round that is selected/highlighted.
