American WW2 era tracked amphibious vehicle France used LVT-4 and LVT(A)-4 during both the Indochina War (1946-1954) and the Suez Crisis in 1956. They named the type ‘Alligator’, a name which hadn’t been used since the very first LVT was developed as a civilian rescue vehicle. Other countreis had named it the Buffalo or Sea Serpent. This example, presumably a genuine French one, is on display in the ‘Contemporary French’ hall. Musée des Blindés, Saumur, Pays de la Loire, France
