You got the one for vehicle armor, but the M2 is already linked in the Design and development section - the article is not long enough to warrant more than one in the body.

Where does the figure of ~700 tanks produced come from?
The caption for the last photo states it's a CTLS-3, which does not appear to be among the variants listed. Is it a CLT-3? Or a CLTS-4 of some variety? Done
According to Estes' book, the CTLS provided the basis for the CTM, which should be mentioned somewhere. Done
Also according to Estes, the 1st and 2nd Separate Tank Companies were formed in June 1942 to man the M-H tanks, and these were later sent to Samoa - Zaloga mentions that 20 of these were the CTL-6 variant Done
Zaloga mentions a CTL-3M variant, and that the earlier CTL-3s were rebuilt to this standard in 1941 Done
Zaloga also states that the CTL series was the first tank to be built to USMC requirements - this is a notable bit of info Done
The article omits the reasons the CTL series was rejected - according to Zaloga, the tanks "proved to be a disappointment because its light weight and small size had led to too many compromises, including a fragile power train and weak armor." Done
What you've got here is a little too close to Zaloga's wording (particularly "led to too many compromises") - please reword to avoid issues with close paraphrasing. Done
