Pity they're all out of service, still, I suppose there's only so far you can take a single design before you're either effectively building an entirely new tank or fiscally better off buying some of the tons of surplus armor that's out there now - T62, T72, T80, T90, M60A3, Leopard I (or II!) or even M1 Abrams if you can afford it and the operating costs.

I would think in the cold war setting of first edition, and second even they would have been kept in reserve or storage just in case. Worst case scenario they would have been sold to Mexico. Most armies around the world now since the end of the cold war are smaller and higher trained, but during the cold war period it was all about numbers.

Apparently the XLF-40 proved to be rubbish with conflicting information stating there was either only 50 built, or just the one prototype (probably the former with only the prototype remaining today).
Although it could carry three reasonably heavy rockets, it was only three, was difficult to reload, and had terrible accuracy. All rather significant problems for what's supposed to be an MLRS.
