I remember seeing them on the runway in Kabul back in 2002. They were about 2 or so miles from the two WWI FT-17 Renault Tanks that were also recovered. It is amazing how much "stuff" is in Afghanistan. AWESOME restoration!!!

Looks like 4 FT-17 tanks were found (3 1/2 maybe), one is still there, one went to France, and two came to the US (one incomplete):
