Several look like they are in Australia; I've seen photos of some that were converted by Aussie farmers & ranchers to work on their land after the war.
The Pzkw-IVs shown near the end look like the ones abandoned in the Golan Heights after the 1967 6-Day War.
I remember when passing through the Suez Canal in 1990 enroute to Kuwait, I could still see remnants of various clashes littering the banks: BRDM-2s, several old tanks, some trucks, and even an old train (complete with locomotive & boxcars).
Fascinating!
