if i’m not mistaking the m6 was made by british standard for the british and the t1e1 should have been the american version of the vehicle.
What? The m6 is the production version the US uses the letter T for prototypes and pilot vehicles before they switch over to using X

A +1 from me, honestly. Being a joint project and all, they should have added it to both the US and the UK. That said, I really wish Bovington would let the US have the T14 back; it would be neat to see it as part of the Armor and Cavalry Collection. As opposed to it sitting in storage

Nah, unlike the T14 the T1/M6 was completely an American program. They did offer some vehicles to the British, but these were never shipped. At one point the British even hypothesized putting a 17-Pdr into the T1/M6.
I don’t mean to sound rude, genuine question here, but why should they send it back? The US made 2 of them. They sent one to the UK and decided to scrap theirs.
More so, my thought was that the thing isn’t even on display and has sat in the museum’s reserve collection for at least a decade. If they’re not going to display it, perhaps they might be interested in trading it for something equally unique. There are quite a few ultra-rare, near-unobtanium things the US has in its storage yards that might tickle Bovington’s fancy. So, i.e., it helps fill a gap in the US’s own preservation record, and Bovington could get a unique tank that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to acquire.

“Adding it to the correct nation”?
Brit here, I don’t see why either of these options wouldn’t be a correct option but I don’t agree with just copying and pasting a unique premium into another tree. It doesn’t achieve anything. Britain 4.7 is already good and anyone who wants to experience the T14 can do so with no grind at a very low price. We accomplish nothing by adding this to Britain.

…Except for adding another option, which was historically meant for Britain to use.
The Americans had interest in using it too which is why two tanks where made.
It just so happens that both nations didn’t want it in the end.
So for that reason the nation that actually wasted its resources, Design time and labor on building it should have it.

If one ended up in America (and was scrapped) and one ended up in the UK in reality, I see no reason for that not to be the case ingame other than pure selfishness.
