Iranian Manufacture

I have read in both books and internet sources that the M47 was manufactured under license in Iran. It is even mentioned on one of the external links at the bottom of this page,[1] (look towards the bottom of the page, underneath the tables). Other websites, such as [2], only say Iran upgraded their provided M47s to the M47M standard. Can anyone provide proof for either one of these claims. The only truly primary source I can get my hands on does not even mention Iran except for a brief statement about them operating it (nothing about building or upgrading it). Any help would be appreciated.SAWGunner89 17:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

T-42 Reference?

This repeatedly references the T-42 as another American tank, as do several other online articles about the Patton series of tanks. There is no Wikipedia article on the T-42, and searching for other information on this tank online only yields articles looping back to the Patton series of tanks. Did the T-42 actually exist? Anyone have a source on this one? Dean (talk) 14:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Turkey isn't on the map of operators

Turkey, who has been a major operator of the M47 tank (over 1,300 pieces were delivered according to the article) is actually missing from the map of operators! --Xristar (talk) 10:20, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
