On the grounds of the Independence Palace there stands two tanks painted to look like the ones that broke down the gate. Evidently the real hardware is in a museum in Hanoi.
There’s been a debate on which tank entered first. Officially it was 843, a T54. But, then it seems it really was 390, a T59. According to the French photographer who took the photos at the time, 390 was #1.
