By the fact that the lugs on the upper hull are on the diagonal armor plates, rather than on the front hull plate, it matches pictures of the M3A1 I've seen; the M5A1 had the lugs on the front hull plate.

At least 5 of the 48 M3 Stuart's China aquired via lend-lease in 1943.

They are M-5s

Your image is an M3A1, which indeed they are not.  These are M3A3's which look very much like M5's.  In fact I really would not know the difference.  But I do know that we gave the Chinese M3A3's in 1943 rather than M5's, and so I assume that these are M3's.

I will admit that I also *do not know that we didn't* give them M5's at a later date...

I just think it's really top-notch of those two guys in front protecting the tanks with their tommy guns. ;)
