Found this on Wikipedia - - The Egyptian Army had a small number of ex-British M10s, 3-inch and 17-pdr versions, and used them in 1948 against Israel. Israel captured some of them.

I have found one pic of a Achilles, but no M-10 3 in.

The Achilles has been confirmed

Can anyone confirm the M-10 3 inch was used by Egypt

According to this book, yes (Wikipedia apparently quotes from here): https://books.google.at/books?id=t_JIDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT328&lpg=PT328&dq=egyptian+army+m10&source=bl&ots=FEjfGHIQL1&sig=BrcJMsuwsRWF1E7bIiDtlZgekwA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwju1_Coo-TbAhXFb1AKHWfKCq0Q6AEIeTAI#v=onepage&q=egyptian%20army%20m10&f=false

There are a few books out there that claim Egypt used the M-10, and Steve Zaloga's Concord book on US Tank Destroyers had a color profile purportedly of an Egyptian example. Zaloga is usually pretty reliable but without more reliable documentation (photos, primary sources) I'm skeptical that Egypt used any.
