Certainly; a Brazil with better things to do post-'97 might even (potentially) sell a few off to friendly nations. A platoon of M5/X1A1s in Europe, anyone? Although it's more likely if they DID sell them off or lend/lease them it'd be to a nearby country. The tiny bit of sea-lift capability the US has by '98-'99 is going to be dedicated to the Atlantic Convoys, and locations in the pacific and middle east, not dashing off to Brazil to pick up a gaggle of WWII vehicles-on-steroids.
