Not to mention those in museums or private collections. I believe there's even a few old tanks which have been turned into farm tractors or logging machinery. Their weapons may be long gone, but their armour is still there... Doesn't take a huge amount of work to throw on a couple of machineguns, and with a decent workshop heavier weapons could be installed (if available).

Weren't the Royal Marines still using the Centurion as a Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle until well into the 90's (at least) IRL?

And the Main guns could be replaced with ones from other afvs that were badly damaged in a battle. Maybe not what the originals were but allot of kit bashing could be done. Would make for some interesting
AFVs.

Or a length of pipe and a coat of paint could create the illusion of a decent weapon installed. For an example look at Oddballs tanks in Kelly Heros. Throw in a couple of SFX squibs and you'd give a group of bandits something to think twice about!
