Hot off the press- Can you beat the the talking heads:

This may be the only chance I have to correctly identify one, it's a British FV432 APC (saw it in the news today). Sadly, I don't have anything to put up in its place, so the floor is open...

 

[Danjanou]

I still owe one from last weekafter getting that french/Brazillian tank destroyer. I forgot about it :-[

Name and country of use?

 

[Blackadder1916]

Citroen-Kegresse P-28 Armored Car

This one is on display in Montevideo, Uruguay.  One of three that entered service with the Guardia Metropolitana in 1933-34.

 

[Danjanou]

Well someone has the same reference books and links I do. You're up.

 

[Blackadder1916]

Well I did recall seeing it several years ago when I was down that way, so it was easy finding the links.

Something more recent

 

[RangerRay]

Looks like an Argo...

You've got its parentage.  Any ideas as to country and designation?

Another view.

Thanks for the china-defense link.  Though the 'Gecko' 8x8 is widely used in South Africa's parachute unit (a fine but unusual example of Canadian defence industry exports) I had not previously seen the suggestion that the Chinese PLA's 8x8 ATV was based on the Centaur.  It doesn't not surprise me though, since the Chinese don't seem overly concerned with patent or copyright infringement.

You're up.

I think it is neat too that the Aussies have an unmanned Argo - they may not be using it, but they have developped it

Ok...


I don't know if this one has been done - should be fairly easy either way : What is it called, and can you tell where this one is from?

Bang on! Over to you!

 

[GK .Dundas]

I honestly can'nt find anything that is obscure enough or has'nt already been used. :crybaby:

 

[ironduke57]

Okay then. What´s this?

[Danjanou]

German SdKfz 251/D

The later D version had the simpler rear sloped armour, not the angled rear of the C version.

Crew helmets look like Rumanian maybe. I know the Germa's issued a lot of kit to their allies can't recall if any got eh Later D models of carriers though.

 

[TN2IC]

Capture by the French may be?

 

[ironduke57]

It is an 251, but what is on top of it?

@TN2IC Possible.
