A good primary document is Operations Research
Office Employment of Armor in Korea. Vol 1 at Military History Institute's
digital library. 330 pg takes awhile to download even with cable modem and no
status bar so seems like it's just not working.
Section on NKPA tank losses has the results of the
survey of 239 dead T-34's left below the 38th
parallel after Inchon quoted in a
lot of books. 60 to napalm, 17 to rockets, 7 to strafing, 7 to bombs,
10 air not specified, 39 to UN tanks, rest arty. infantry weapons,
abandonments in the retreat etc. 74 SU-76's were also lost about 1/2 by air
napalm again leading. Futrell "USAF in Korea" pg 175 quotes 452 claimed by air
for the period.
Section on UN losses has 17 of 164 UN tank
combat losses caused by enemy tanks, mines the leading cause at 64.
