I'd also have to ask where the ammo is coming from for any tank using a gun earlier than the 105mm. Even if local militias can get the engines running on WW2 vintage armor or M48s doesn't mean they'll have access to one single round of main gun ammo for those tanks. If there is any ammo buried at the back of some bunkers in insane war reserve or to support foreign military sales, that doesn't inherently imply that there is either will or ability for post-TDM senior American commanders to push those assets out to local militias, whatever their loyalty.
