I'm going to have to disagree. The Order of Battle for the 28th ID at the time of writing was a mixed division organized around the Regimental Combat Team model. This included 1 Armored Brigade, 1 Cav Squadron, Towed and SP artillery. So it was neither light nor heavy. The lack of detail by the writers isn't a de facto label of "Light Infantry" The US ARMY Vehicle Guide does include M60A1's in the listing of current armor.

The above show the breakdown for the maneuver battalions as of June 1974...they remained unchanged in 1989. This doesn't include the combat service support battalions, FA, MP, Chem, or signal.
