I have found no source that lists BTR-152 to have ever been acquired by Libya, even those that optimistically list the BTR-50 as still in active service. That being said given how common it was I would hesitate to delete it and I recommend a 12/1990 cutoff pending further research.
Unfortunately, a Russian Bronekolektsya book doesn't give a list of all countries using BTR-152 variants in the past, but it doesn't list Libya among users in 1995.

PS - what's interesting, English nor Russian Wikipedia doesn't list Libya among former users of BTR-152.
