Cargoes have been extracted from a document received from D. Kindell, based on the late Arnold Hague's database (see his listing for HX 167 at Ships in all HX convoys).

Br=British, Norw=Norwegian, Sw=Swedish, Pa=Panamanian, Am=American, Bel=Belgian.

Comparing the above with Arnold Hague's information for HX 167 at Ships in all HX convoys, we find that he has listed the un-named ships in T. Agar's form as follows:
Station 11 - British City of Eastbourne (general cargo)
Station 14 - British Empire Masefield (grain)
Station 22 - Norwegian Cetus (flour)
Station 25 - Panamanian Stone Street (returned due to evaporator explosion, 1 died - see also HX 166). She does not show up again in an eastbound convoy until SC 67 on Jan. 30-1942. For info, she later joined Convoy PQ 12 to Murmansk (external link); see also Convoy QP 10 and QP 11.
Station 41 - British Empire Falcon (general cargo)
Station 52 - British British Resource (burning and vap. oils)
Station 54 - Dutch Djambi (general cargo)
Station 61 - British Orari (refrig., general, 1886 mails)
Station 65 - Norwegian Bonneville (general cargo)
Station 72 - British Regent Lion (petrol)
Station 73 - Norwegian Herbrand (gas oil)
Station 84 - British Beaconoil (cargo of dieso, straggled from Jan. 5-1942)
Station 92 - Dutch Edam (general cargo, 26 passengers)
Station 93 - British Trentbank (zinc, general)

*Instead of Beaconhill in station 32, he has the British Athelnight, cargo of gas oil. Beaconhill is not included (she was in another part of the world at this time, on her way to Abadan from Beira), nor is an American ship named Manus, but he has listed the American USS Uranus in station 24, bound for Iceland.
In station 44 he has the Norwegian Thorshavet (FFO for Hvalfjord) instead of Thorshavn. The latter is not listed at all, in fact, according to her Voyage Record for this period, she was on her way from Curacao to Table Bay at this time, while Thorshavet did indeed leave Halifax for Iceland on Dec. 27-1941 - see her Voyage Record.

*He has also added some ships in stations where none are named in the diary, namely:
In station 63 - Dutch Ceronia (dieso)
In station 45 - British Darina (benzine - collided with Norwegian Meline Jan. 10-1942)
In station 85 - British Gorjistan (general cargo)
In station 75 - Panamanian Leonatus (general cargo)
In station 31 - British Nea Hellas (general cargo, 821 mails - 30 days repair & docking)
In station 43 - British British Valour (FFO, Londonderry)
In station 71 - British Salacia (general cargo).

The Rescue Vessel Rathlin was also with this convoy for a while, from joining to Clyde, Jan. 7 to Jan. 10-1942. She had been with ON 51 from Clyde to detachment to Iceland Dec. 28-Jan. 3, and was on her 4th voyage as Rescue Vessel, having been in her first convoy as such in Oct.-1941, ON 22. See ships in all ON convoys. ("Convoy Rescue Ships 1940-1945", Arnold Hague).

For info, the Norwegian Noreg later joined Convoy PQ 9/ PQ 10 from Reykjavik to Murmansk on Febr. 1-1942, returning to Iceland with QP 8 on March 1.
