Hotchkiss tanks:
*Israel OOB 04 Unit 003 Hotchkiss H35: This should be the H39(currently unit 435 in the OOB).
*Israel OOB 04 Unit 010 Hotchkiss H35i: I personally have never heard of a 6pdr hothkiss in Israeli service. The shoehorning of such a weapon into the H39 seems unlikely to me.
Further more, the 37mm guns that the tanks came with were actually removed and put on armored cars- as the tanks were mechanically unreliable. The constant engine and transmission issues had this tanks listed
as "Unfit" from December 1948 onward. This means that in reality, H39 tanks were available only from 5/1948 when they
arrived to 1/1949 when they were withdrawn from operational service altogether, and their guns were removed and put in the turrets of armored cars.

Speaking of small french tanks, the Renault R-35, a cousin to the Hotchkiss, is missing altogether...At least one of 3 tanks captured from the Syrians was repaired in 1948 and used along side the Hotchkiss and Cromwell tanks. If added I think it should be available until 1949, but this
a guess based on the Sherman tanks arriving in greater quantities around that time. The R-35 can be added instead of unit 011, which as mentioned before should be removed.
