The US supplied the M36 to South Korea, but other than a mention of a model kit in USA Korean war markings, I can find no mention of US use of the vehicle there.

From Zaloga's book : http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=F...age&q=&f=false - caption to first photo.

However, they were there in the US depots for issue to the South Koreans, so perhaps a few were used as an expedient. But it would be uncommon. Perhaps a few were used as a temporary substitute due to the shortage of the heavy tanks mentioned in Zaloga?.
