"s" in M1933s is redundant - unless it's supposed to indicate AAMG. It could be marked with "P-40", or maybe "+"?.

A problem with AAMGs on T-26s and T-28s and some other tanks is, that only part of tanks were equipped with them, and in case of T-26 they are generally not seen on photos, apart from photos from tests... Pity, that there's no magic way of randomizing AAMG presence.

All in all, I believe, that much more probable was encountering plain T-26, than T-26 with AAMG. I haven't seen any photo of abandoned or destroyed T-26 with AAMG fitted, and only some have AAMG mounting. Even if a peculiar tank had AAMG, not always would a commander stick out and fire it (in fact he would probably either aim a gun and CMG, or fire AAMG).

Therefore, IMO AAMG variants should have radio x1, and there should be created plain T-26 M1939 with radio x0 (M1938 was rare anyway, so AAMG model with x1 is enough).
