France can propose the Renault R40, which is a bit on the slow side but better protected; or the better-armed, faster, but more lightly protected AMC-35 cavalry tank.

If Latvia is willing to dispense with the weight requirement, France could propose the Renault Bruyere.

Not to threadjack, but Greece may be interested in the LT.38. Would Yugoslavia be willing to send a few test examples and instructor/technicians for evaluation?

Absolutely. They should be heading to Athens in a February timeframe.
