Geez!?! What a tough crowd!?! Didn't I say that I had
"yet to verify" the armor issue? That would be a yes, as noted in ref. 1 now that I've had a chance to look at it after putting away my gear and hanging up my uniform after just getting home to CINCLANTHOME, yes there is no armor difference.
Also from ref. 1 is this..."The M67A2 was again solely a Marine initiative, and brought the flame tank hull up to M48A3 standard. In addition to the work on the hulls, the M67 turrets were improved to M67A1 standard."
In ref. 2 is the main site that's run by, well, Marine tankers.
So about the
M-48A2 well this next shows you had a USMC Lt.Col. who did have one and it's his picture...
This is the attached tagline from the ref. 2 for the picture above..."
M48A2 (the track tension idler wheel was cut off of these) Peter Saussy."
He must've been the only one to get one!?!
This again is the attached tagline from the ref. 2 for the picture above...
Lt. Horner’s platoon, from F/2/5 take cover behind an M67A2 Flame Tank and a M48A3 during the battle for Hue. Photo ?
I did say I looked at the pictures though, that's the "
rare" part I mentioned.
Ref. 2 from my previous if you missed it.
