I found some interesting page with data of tanks used by Corps

http://mcvthf.org/History/Evolution_of_Marine_Tanks.html

There is a info about USMC usage of M48 Patton tanks in peace period between Korean & Vietnam wars. But there is no photos of M48A2/2C. Maybe some body know where I can find images of marine M48A2/2C. And about M48 Mod.B Are there tanks were converted only from M48A3 variants?

they only used the M48a3/A model, and the M167 flame thrower tank. The 3/4 CAV in II-Corp used some M48a2's and have heard there were a few in the First Division. The 69th Armor used some M48a3/B models.

Right, the last two units you listed are US Army units though. He only asked about USMC use of the M48A2, which there was none in Vietnam. You need to clarify since some people don't know which units were/are Army and which were/are USMC.
