If you're asking which T-55 would make a proper load for the MAZ, I think any T-55 variant that was in service from the middle of the 1960's on would be just fine. So you could use the Trumpy T-55 Model 1958 (with a little, or a lot of, work) and be reasonably accurate.

I'm not sure when the MAZ-537 went operational, as I couldn't find any exact dates online, but all sources that I've seen say the mid-60's.

I'm sure one of our local experts could straighten me out on this!

MAZ movers entered service in mid 60's, so both kits will do just fine.

Ah, so he's asking which MAZ kit, not which T-55, would be accurate.

My bad.
