Found it! They were Soviet T-26 tanks, several hundred shipped by Stalin to the Loyalists:

Sorry, my mistake. Mis-read your comment. Thought you were talking about these tanks:
Insurgents claimed:
“They destroyed or captured twenty-nine government tanks, they stated. “
Those were the Soviet T-26s. Insurgents had German tanks, as already pointed out...
Hah Hah Quik draw!
