Huge difference between the M-48A1 and M-48A2C here's an excerpt from my first response to my email inquiry...
"The A-1 was a gasoline powered vehicle. The USMC did not have them in-country. In July of 1968, the Army did use some A-1's for a short time. They found out that too many mines caused too many explosions and they moved to the A-3." - Greg Martin
If the ARMY still used them (The A1.) you know the USMC still did also through 1968. The
M-48A1 was very venerable to mines as the underbelly around the fuel tank wasn't heavily armored. They were fire death traps much in the way I believe if memory serves the
T-62 was.
If it's found the USMC had the M-48A2 and M-48A2C given the option I'd just enter the M-48A2C. And we've had and suspect still to a lesser degree, some limited number units in the game. The
Sukhoi S-37 Berkut comes to mind that was finally removed from the Russian OOB within the last 2-3+ years. Best estimates put it at 3 to 5 examples built.

I might up the ante later this morning and reach out for some help from the PAO office of the following unit...

I see it starting along the lines of "Good Morning, Sir I'm...
I was wondering if you can help me find...Yes I'm a Retired Submariner...Line goes goes mysteriously dead...Well it might need some polishing, besides I'd hate the thought of the PAO coughing out or spilling coffee on their nice clean uniform
yeah maybe not so much after all!?!
Good Ni...or whatever it is as long as it means sleep for me.
