Im sure both were in use. But I think the Grants may have been in greater numbers.
The Brits had the Lee version of the Grant, the Stuart (which they called the “Honey”), their own domestically produced Matildas, Cruisers and Churchills (not sure if Churchills made it to Africa).
It is surprising to find out how many pieces of WWII military equipment had the “M3” designator. The halftrack was also “M3” and the .45 caliber grease gun that armor crews used was an “M3”, too. I think there were one or two others as well.
