As I have said before - if Mexico had that many tanks they wouldnt have been stopped unless the US used a bunch of nukes to do it - could they have had a small force of tanks - yes - but a large one - not likely unless you want to rewrite the canon to say that the US nuked the Mexican tank forces to stop them.
Its especially evident that they didnt have that number of tanks because if they had both of the tank brigades that were still in the US would have been deployed to stop them - and of the two neither was used to stop the Mexican Armor in the canon
Also if they have that number of tanks why bring Soviet Division Cuba to Mexico? They wouldnt need them
So its a choice of a much smaller number of tanks or multiple US tactical nukes (also not mentioned in the canon) to stop them
