Say the U.S. wanted to gather a group of combat effective light tanks (300 or so minimum) to provide some armor for the 82nd and 101st Divisions.
The only factors the tanks need to have in common are
1) traced
2) diesel fueled
3) 30 tons or lighter
4) be armed with standard 105 mm cannon (plus one or two secondary machine guns).
If they didn't want to wait for a U.S. manufacturer to produce them how many could the U.S. obtain by purchasing those in the inventories of other nations?
