There are more BeNeLux early-war vehicles to be found, but you’ve already made a really good first selection! I hope we can see more of them in the near future.
The 47 mm gun used by the Belgian armed forces at the time also had quite nice ammunition, the C.47 F.R.C. Mod.31 was used on basically all armoured anti-tank vehicles in the inventory.
Other such vehicles include, but aren’t limited to:
ACG-1 / Auto Blindé Lourd / Zware Pantserwagen, armed with a 47 mm (Belgian) C.47 F.R.C. Mod.31 and a 13.2 mm Hotchkiss
As the only real medium tank in Belgian inventory, this Belgian modification of the ACG-1 was delivered unarmed and subsequently outfitted with a Belgian anti-tank gun and heavy machinegun. It has a slightly different hull, and the turret has different frontal ‘holes’ for the weaponry.
The first T.13 you shared also had 2 variants: the B1 and B2. Your picture is of the B1.
The B2 is the following vehicle:
T-13 B2, armed with the same 47 mm (Belgian) C.47 F.R.C. Mod.31
Of the B1 design there were 6 made, it was judged satisfactory enough to serve as a basis for the conversion of the remaining 23 Carden-Lloyd gun tractors of the Chasseurs Ardennais. They were converted in 1936 on the same lines as the B1, with small differences of hull fittings, suspension, and internal compartmentation, resulting in the B2 design. The panels could be folded, which left the crew unprotected, but the gun had full traverse.
The T.15 was mostly a lightly armoured reconnaissance tank, not a tank destroyer like the other ones.
The picture you’ve shown here has a 13.2 mm Hotchkiss Heavy machine gun (about 28mm of AP at point-blank range). It looks like a 37 mm barrel, but it’s an air-cooled gun, which is why the barrel looks so thick.

There wasn’t a T.15 armed with a 37 mm Hotchkiss gun as far as I know, it wouldn’t have fit in the turret anyway.
I would like some fresh drones, and not just everybody having the MQ-1, as well as making them more useful because at the moment they just get stomped by SPAA at the BR they are, so here is my suggestion plug :P
Ooo I get it now. I’d like to post on the suggestion you’ve made but idk if it’s allowed to revive such an old topic. I’d like for more players to see it
Ok, I did some digging and there actually was an upgunned T.15 Belgian prototype. It’s called the Vickers Command-tank. It was a Belgian prototype of the licence-produced Vickers Carden Loyd Light Tank Model 1935 (which the T.15 is based upon), armed with (again) a C.47 F.R.C. Mod.31 or a 40 mm 2 pounder (both were trialed, but only a picture of the 40 mm armed one exists). The only prototype ever produced was in Belgium as part of the Vickers project there. It has a noticeable Belgian conical turret.

It was intended to be a project to supply the KNIL (Royal Dutch Army in Dutch Indonesia) with a tank and to upgun the Belgian Carden-Lloyd carriers (which obviously lost to the T.13 B1 prototype, later on over 200 T.13 B3’s would be constructed in Belgium).
I would love to see the new ray tracing features work on the currently excluded gpus and consoles, and further optimization in the next major update. Or at least an update on how things are progressing?
