Besides the US Navy, the US Marines and the French Navy a third customer used the famous Gunfighter.
The Philippines bought about 35 secondhand F-8H from the US Navy storages, of which 10 would serve as parts donors.
All these Saders were in fact refurbished F-8D's. Here's a couple with incorrect tail numbers (sorry) from the 7th TFS.
Thanks to BPAo ( ), Pedro, Column5, all others and CombatAce!
