Unless it was designated surplus / scrapped because these are not being fielded any more.

I mean the Peoples Republic of China... with all the arms sales they described in the rulebooks after the start of the Sino-Soviet War, the decommissioned M113's could easily have been part of that lend-lease to the People's Republic to fight the Soviets.
In my setting the South African's were ending apartheid and thus being brought into the NATO allies category to stand against the ever growing Congo Pact.
I hadn't thought about the Phillipines and the Republic of China (Taiwan) getting them... thanks!

So I can see them going to South Africa to woo them away from the Soviet sphere and keep the Cape open to NATO see traffic. To the Phillipines our old Friends and Allies in the South Pacific, to Portugal for the Azores Airfields, to Israel to counter the Soviets in Syria, to bolster Turkey as it shares borders with the USSR. To Norway for the same reason. To the FRG to bolster their second echelon units, and the same with Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Luxembourg.

I can see that a well... i was thinking of other locally produced designs being produced for the moderization wave that was adopted after the lessons of Desert Storm that saw improvements and inovations that were adopted a decade ealier than we saw IRL.
Such as the mini-articles on body armor and afew other things that i've been working on.
