Fewest NATO nations possible that includes France and West Germany during the Cold War?

I'm thinking Greece and Finland go Red, East Germany larger, cuts off Denmark, and Iceland, Portugal, and Luxembourg go neutral. With Sweden, Finland, and Denmark not in NATO Norway stays neutral as well. Turkey would still be allied to the U.S. but it would be similar to Australia or Japan.

So with only eight countries: USA, Canada, UK, France, West Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Holland. Are there many differences during the Cold War? Could there be fewer? I can't really see countries like Italy, Spain, or Holland leaving NATO.
