There was a pssobility of the very fledgling IDF procuring the 38(t) and hetzer in 1947-48 from the Czechs, but the Czechs who were still manufacturing these tanks wanted too much $$$$$ so the IDF bought other items from them like MG34s, Me109 knock offs etc.

I would question the callsigns as being sapproproite for the period - if the purchases had gone ahead but a defeinte might have been
