There were also used by the Army:

- LVT 1 (combat debute in 11/42),
- LVT 2 (unarmoured, produced from early 1943)
- LVT(A)2 (armoured, produced from unspecified time in 1943, rather later that year)
- LVT(A)2 modified in 1944 with 37 mm automatic aircraft gun on a pintle
- Amtanks:
- LVT(A)1
- LVT(A)4
More comments on LVTs will be in USMC OOB notes.
I'm attaching mentioned pictures of 75mm M1 howitzer on M3 carriage

From memory the LVT series will be hard to model, esp the A versions if I remember.
Bristling with MGs but most need passengers on board to fire & or do not cover the front arc. You could perhaps include them with a short range as additional close defence.
