What kind of panzers did the 7th Panzer Division (Ghost Division) use?

I've always been interested in Military history and the speed in which Ghost Division moved across France.

On may 10th of 1940, the day that Fall Gelb started the 7th Panzer division was comprised of the:

25th Panzer Regiment

The 7th Rifle Brigade

and the 78th Artillery regiment

This is in addition to the various support brigades, regiments and battalions; like supply battalions, signal callers, and reconnaissance battalions.

Now the 25th Panzer regiment contained 34 Panzer I tanks, 68 Panzer II tanks, 91 Panzer 38t tanks (produced in Czechoslovakia), 24 Panzer IV tanks, and 8 Panzer Bef 38t tanks (these were also of Czech origin).
