M3 light Stuart tanks carried a crew of 4 while M3 medium Lee and M4 medium Shermans carried a crew of 5. In the 70's there was a specialty magazine out called AFV-G2 specializing in military armor. They had a number of articles showing unit tables of organization which would give very accurate numbers of personnel and equipment for units of various sizes. Note, however, that most units varied from the specified ideal when they went into action. US units were typically 85% to 110% of assigned strength (we were the only army capable of fielding units at excess strength on a rather routine basis). There are several companies putting out WWII military equipment in N scale now including GHQ. It should also be noted that a large amount of war surplus construction and trucking equipment made its way into civilian use through the mid 60's.
