I took this photo in Afghanistan back in 2006, I think its a Medium Tank T-54A but I'm not sure.

I would agree that it probably is a T-54. It would be easier to tell which one it is if you could see the gun.

The round shape in the right side, rear makes me think T62.
The T-62 was in Afghanistan for the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-1988. And stayed thereafter.
My first Iraq deployment, every trip to taja, we had to pass a T-55 that was being used by the ANA as a static guard position protective place and gun mount. Every trip it was all I could to keep from giving the fire command.. "Gunner, tank, front, acquire and identify"...lol Once an AT guy, always an AT guy.

I'm with the SGM on this one, T-62. The ANA tank battalion in our area had both T-55s and T-62s in 2007.

I'm inclined to agree with you that it's a T-54
