For vehicles like tanks and planes you need to be careful just what prices you are using. Some times they are quoted with and sometimes without Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). Furthermore what consititutes GFE varies from country to country and perhpas over time. Furthermore there are figures that may be quoted such production cost, government pruchase price, unit purchase price, price charged to other countries, etc. If you are comparing between countries just what the costs are can get even more complicated.

For US equipment there's a list of values associated with LL deliveries to the USSR here:

it may be of some use.
