Been looking at the Stingray Tank and how many might have been available for the US Army in the timeline

The canon has these as being made for a Pakistani Army order but taken over when the war broke out and delivered instead to US Army units in Europe and the US.

Looking at the history of the Pakistani Army and their tank buys I am thinking that the most likely buy this would have replaced in the real world would have been the order for 268 Type-85-IIM tanks that China sold to Pakistan from 1992-1996 as well as the 320 tanks that Pakistan was interested in buying from the Ukraine from 1997-1999 and also the 250 Type-69 tanks that were delivered from 1993-1999. Given the tensions with the Soviet Union of the V1 timeline any of the Chinese orders may have only been partially delivered prior to the war with the Soviets.

Thus the Pakistani's turned to the US and bought Stingray's, some of which probably got delivered and the rest were what was taken over by the US Army. Most likely as the war started with the Soviets the Army also ordered light tanks of their own as well but these arent mentioned in the timeline (i.e. it makes it sound like all they got were the ones being built for Pakistan)

One question would be if there was an order being built would Textron have closed down the Cocoa Beach facility and moved it to Louisiana in 1994? Or possibly kept the tank facility where it was and only moved light armored vehicle production there instead?
