lots... they deployed with 6 Ft-17...  also the video seems to mix Shanghai and in at least one sequence Beijing (the marines were in both places).

It’s not just you but closer examination reveals they have mixed in footage of British troops disembarking. Look closely and you can see British tunics, regimental badges and SMLE rifles in hand.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
