AFAIK, the Tiran's in Lebanon keep the original 100mm gun, but I might stand corrected

A few were also supposably sold to Iran during their war with Iraq. I haven't found any photo to support it, but according to a few sites they were sold in limited numbers coming from Israeli stock.

At one time back in 1999, behind the amphitheater at Latrun, there was a 105mm version Tiran 5 in original Lebanese Forces paint and markings. Dark forest green, IDF sand hatch interiors and Phalangist serial and emblem on an otherwise standard Tiran with all the add-ons. I have no idea if there were more. The SLA versions were back-dated to the 100mm before being delivered.
