The only available 1/35th one that comes to mind would be the 4.2 KW gasoline engine generator set fitted to the M577 (Tamiya kit) :

Or maybe you could scratchbuild one, like this MEP-017A 5KW one (from http://www.lzbaldymedic.com/VN68-70PICS.html ) :

PS : I believe the M5 would be too old for Vietnam...but who knows ?

Talking about scratchbuilding, a trailer mounted generator could be another option...
