  BN RSM can be 1WO or MWO too.Even OCs can be MWO or 1WO.
  
  Divisional RSM is usually MWO or SWO.

  RSMs of rank SWOs are SAF RSM, Army RSM, RSAF RSM, RSN RSM, all Formation RSMs, all Division RSMs and some misc RSMs who are PCs of training schools/companies.

  no.
  
  there is an estab rank for all appointments. a coy RSM (= CSM) usually has an estab rank of 2WO or 1WO. you can make a junior rank sit on a more senior estab (but there are certain limitations too), but not the other way.

  SWO as a PC?More like Coy 2IC, OC I think.

  in "protocol" terms, 2WO is equivalent to 2LT. so SWO is equivalent to a MAJ which is an OC or post-OC estab.
