I would guess that the UN ceases to effectively function with the Sino-Soviet War as vetos in the Security Council will stop any action against any party.
The only way may be for the US to use old resolutions to justify involvement.
We know from canon about Australian involvement, maybe we could add the Canadian contingent from Sri Lanka (I'm not sure what date the vehicle from the NATO Vehicle Handbook has them there but the could transfer).
From the British Army there is the possibility of a small force of Gurkhas, probably by creating a new battalion.
Maybe an interesting game could be centred around a Japanese medical unit (they are unlikely to send combat troops due to their constitution). These would be disliked by the Koreans due to their history in Korea.
Thailand might be willing to provide a battalion or two.
Considering how quickly the war in Korea turns nasty with chemical and nuclear weapons, most countries will not want to become involved.
