Swedish Stridsvagn m/42
The Stridsvagn m/42 (abbreviated Strv m/42) was the principal medium tank of Sweden during the later years of the Second World War and into the early Cold War.
The T69 was an experimental American medium tank based on the T42 medium tank. Armed with a 105mm gun in an oscillating turret only 1 built
FV221 Caernarvon Medium Tank
The Caernarvon was used for chassis development work serving in troop trials for the FV214 Conqueror. It consisted of the FV 201 hull, combined with a 17 pounder-armed Centurion Mk 2 turret. Twenty-one additional units were built and from 1955, with the Conqueror entering service, FV221’s were all converted to that type.

The T42 was an American medium tank armed with a 90mm cannon. Deemed to be underpowered only four prototypes were produced.
The T54 was a series of prototype medium tanks based on the M48 Patton chassis. 3 turret variations armed with a 105mm gun were tested
A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter
The A13 Mk.III Cruiser Mk.V Covenanter was designed as a cheaper and lighter cruiser tank to replace the cruiser Mk. IV. It was armed with a two ponder gun and had 30mm armour. Problems with engines overheated made it unsuitable for deployment overseas, relegating it to training in the UK. Although the Mk. IV solved the overheating issues it was declared obsolete in 1943 and all remaining tanks scrapped.
A bridge-laying version of the Conevanter was developed and became the only A13s deployed operationally. A mine clearance version was produced but was not used operationally.

Lorraine 40t French Medium Tank
The Lorraine 40t was a French medium tank designed to replace the AMX-50 then in development. The AMX-50 project became too heavy once changes were incorporated to increase armour and gun size to combat the IS-3. As a result the Lorraine 40t had thinner armour and rubber road wheels.
Armament consisted of a 100mm gun in an oscillating turret with a 50 round magazine.
Two prototypes were completed in 1952, with evaluations being undertaken until 1954. Once American M47 Patton tanks became available, interest in both the AMX-50 and 40t decreased and the two prototypes were scrapped.
