Would there be any markings on an early Cold War (late 40s, 50s) T-54 or T-55 that would distinguish which country it was made and/or operated in, such as Czechloslavkia or Yugoslavia?

I know that Yugoslavia had a 5 number code on the turret side that the first 2 numbers would give the origin of the country it was from.I am not sure when they started using it.About Czechoslovakia I am not sure but I think they might have.

Star Decals makes a lot of T-54/55 markings.I find them on ebay and at some hobby contests.

I'll have to look into that.




I'm not looking for decals, but for information.
