Belize is a poor country so I think it is unlikely that there would be much similar capacity on the civilian side. If they retain control of the battlefield!
With that said, it might be possible for one or more of the knocked out tanks, if they didn't burn, to be emplaced as pillboxes at key points, or even in the jungle yards from where they were stopped.

its your story, but the M41 comes in at 23tons. a 25ton wrecker (its standard for semis) could pull one. i don't think that they will have many, but it could be a way to fluff some being recovered if not totally returned to service. could be a good money sink for the goverment.
