It was a standard option on Vickers tanks. The cool thing about these is that they were one of the most common export types in the world in the 1930s, so you could credibly give half a dozen to just about any little country for the sake of a whiff.

I just took into custody two of the Renault FT-17 kits, one with the cast turret and 37mm, the other with the octagonal turret and Hotchkiss.  They look like very nice, simple models.  The only thing I'd say against them is that there are many sprue gates and some bits look a little a bit fiddly, but it's a good halfway house between the HaT model (easy to put together, but simplified detail) and the RPM model (wonderful detail, crazy amount of parts!).

I' tempted by the Vickers E....
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
