The Viet Cong did not use the LPO-50 flamethrower - I doubt they used flamethrowers at all.

It's a Soviet weapon. Yes, I know the Soviets supplied the NVA with some of their outdated weaponry, but the Viet Cong (a peasant guerrilla movement noted for its ability to operate with the lightest of equipment) would not lug around a flamethrower. It does not lend itself well to guerrilla warfare.
