The Rhino was at first an American tank, and in GTA V it became a German one. I don't see why not, although currently we have no evidence to affirm it is/it is not a Hunter, similarly to how we are not 100% sure the VTOL is going to be named the Hydra (we never know, the Dodo could've been named the Skimmer, but it wasn't).
