I do. They're in Ve2. The "TL7 MBT" there has been explicitly identified as the M1A3.

The DR happen to be exactly DR140 and laminate for the sides and rear. I did not remember the laminate part. So they just barely stop 8D(10).

The top (including turret) and undersides as well as the treads are all less than that and not laminate either.
