MasterBox makes a three figure set. Italeri has an older six figure set that needs some updates/work but has the correct M-1942 jump uniform. Verlinden and Warriors make several individual resin figures. And one of the Dragon sets is for Operation Varsity, not Market Garden, but would work for both. Also in their US anti tank set, the recoiless rifle crew are appropriate for the  Varsity drop. They are molded in paratrooper kit and this was the first use of the 57mm Recoilless Rifle in the ETO.

Several Tamiya figures can be converted without too much difficulty. Just make sure they are wearing boots, not shoes/leggings, and add the cargo pockets on the thighs.
