Would it be realistic to show a T-55A tank involved in this invasion, or did the invading armies only use their old clunker T-54's and such?

You'll be fine with the T-55, they were there. As an "oh, by the way...", you could also use one for Hungary '56 as well. No doubt other folks more familiar than I could let you know which units used them.

Cordially,

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but it still sort of related…

I’ve stumbled upon this small yet interesting photo gallery about the invasion:
