In theory starting in 1962 all USMC M48s were starting an upgrade to A3s, by the time they hit Vietnam in 1965 they probably should have mostly been A3s.
The other possibility would be that the 3rd Tank Bn being located in Okinawa would be last on the upgrade list and some deal was cut with the Army that resulted in the USMC trading un-upgraded M48A1s for Army M48A2Cs which were then fielded until they could be upgraded to A3s.
