Merci Beaucoup Monsieur
so, now it gets interesting
this TOE must be then from the time when it got DB.
Is You fabulous source similarly rich about the 2e DFL or the Force L?
Or maybe other Free French or even Arme d'Afrique units that might have had M3 mediums?

THX again

force L and the 501 bcc afterwards were equipped with Bren/universal carriers , marmon-herrington AC, Dodge AC and Crusaders after they disbanded their H39's.
The Free french then received M4's, M3 Stuarts (later M5's) and M10's so this would make any M3 Lee or grant probably an ARV as Lee/Grants that were changed into ARV's were used by the US as well together with their M10 and M4 units.

I'll be digging in my books about the Free French now, 'cause the net keeps giving me the usual same stuff.
Unfortunatly that 'll have to wait until tomorrow evening.

I am absolutely not in a hurry, Thank You very much again
I am enjoying the process as much as the result

please take Your time

the M3 medium result for the time being is that ARV were used after NA, not the combat version anymore - that's what I understand
