I found these interesting pics of a late model M32A1B3 (47° hull) on webshots from “Carl in Korea 1955-1957” 707th Ordinance Battalion. This resembles the Marine Corp T14E1 VTR except it has the old style lifting arm on the boom instead of the sheave attached to the hull and “turret” However in one picture there’s a bracket attached to the hull that looks like it could take this sheave. In another pic there’s an M74 so it looks like this unit was transitioning from the M32 to the M74.

After looking at these photos again, I noticed that the turret is missing the brackets for the boom raising sheave like on the Marine Corp T14E1. http://data3.primeportal.net/recovery/frank_langeler/m32_arv/images/m32_arv_23_of_86.jpg
However the lower bracket on the front hull just underneath the ventilator is there. My initial thought was that the M32 in "Carl in Korea" was a T14E1 given to the Army after the Korean War, but now I'm not sure.
