I do believe it uses the late track set. Try AFV Club,Bronco or Friulmodel sets.

Hi Both
I would say more likely to be the earlier T97E2 (AFV Club 35005) but I guess it would depend on the period. Most of the early M60 "Slick" Magach photos I could find had T97s in 1982. Afterwards it seems to be still mostly T97s, with some T142s and then Merkava tracks before they were converted to Magach 7A and 7Cs.
What I'm getting at is that they didn't update the M60's immediately with T142s so why would they update the M48s? Of course the vehicles tracks would be replaced when worn out but would a Magach3 have made it to that point?
I'm not saying it's impossible, In fact a quick google search brings up one picture of a Magach 3 blazer with T142s but this seems to be a museum vehicle. The one in service picture I have shows early tracks.
So i'd say it's up to you. Go with what ever you think looks best
