When the USMC deployed to Vietnam it took it's M48A3s ... BUT the US Army logistic system in Vietnam apparently had primarily M48A2s.
So when the USMC needed to swap a tank due to battle damage/maintenance the replacement from the US Army was probably an M48A2.

My best guess why we have verifiable photos and such of USMC M48A2s.
