The Olifant that the South Africans are providing is the Mk1A version - the most up to date version at the time was the Mk1B which they aren't willing to give in trade to the US
When Jason was sent she had several 40mm mounts as well as 50 cal machine guns that she was armed with - they didn't mount the 5 inch guns before she sailed
Thank you for the questions and please feel free to ask more if you have them

thank you for your quick rely. second off this is your book and it is better than some books that have come out of large companies.
the guns on the Jason is good info and now she can be used a wider game role. (recover of a high value cargo shipwreck)
the idea of the older tanks but still second line tanks being traded make since. tanks are the queen of the battlefield and the MILGov love having them and pay threw the nose for them. US units do not think as highly of a wheeled big gun tank even if they can do the job using less fuel and spare parts.
so it is one hover craft.
