The McFaul report (Republican investigation of what was left behind) listed no tanks.

There aren’t any.
The US (and its allies) used very few tanks in Afghanistan and withdrew them all by 2020. The Afghans also had a few ex-Soviet tanks left over from the 1970s/80s but these weren’t US aid.

Left behind (or lost/worn out in the course of the war) were very large numbers of vehicles used for counterinsurgency or to motorize the Afghan forces. Humvees are the big ticket item.

The USA didn’t leave any tanks in Afghanistan. It did leave some military vehicles which seem to be Humvees
