MarkoZ, welcome to this forum!

The shipments of Vickers Carden Loyd light tanks destined for the Netherlands East Indies were retained by the British Goverment, in an act to overcome the severe losses of vehicles in France in May-June 1940. Therefore I think it is highly unlikely Vickers "Dutchman" tanks were shipped out of the UK. Unless the strategic situation of Greece was deemed more precarious than that of the UK itself, that is...
