Yes, and for 'foreign' i.e. Third World/Southern Hemisphere I think a 57mm/6-pounder version would be
more than adequate to fight each others WWII surplus. Less wear and tear on the machine as well.

The Allies needed something bigger because they were facing later generation German armour, something
that realistically would not be likely in most post-WWII piss-pot wars.

I was thinking the stillborn Operation Carbonado although one can still argue that Shinhoto Chi-Ha wouldn't fare that well against 57mm guns, either......

The plus side is that the 75mm fires a better HE shell and would likely remain somewhat adequate against the best armours Japan didn't bring to bear in real-life.
