Looks like standard M250s to me.

Maybe I’m missing it as well.

South Korea is stepping up their IFV game with the Redback; looks really good.

On the article, several down, was this:

I should have said “USMC-like”, vice Wegmann (which tend to be rail mounted). Zoom in and see the crenellations of the launcher. But it appears “neither/nor” as I zoomed in.

You mean the M257 that was fitted to USMC M1A1 Abrams tanks.

Easiest way to tell is 8 vs. 6.

Yes. The crenellations I can see in that front quarter view have me mystified!

Thanks!

It is indeed. I need to go re-read that entire article. It is about the SEP v3 deliveries, but gloriously mixes the A1 and A2 pics like bad popcorn seasoning. Without a descriptor. Thanks

SEP v3s arrive at 2nd Cavalry Regiment, 3 Brigade, Lavarack Barracks, Townsville, Queensland.

Clearest pics yet of the colors and accessories. It intrigues me that the last skirt/dust shield is mounted for the Aussie version. We more or less abandoned them years ago. And yet the SEPv4 (PV09) that just landed at the Armor & Cavalry Collection has them too. Oh well, at least we kept the sprocket rings off!

You can see there’s a fitting on the #6 skirt & the #7 now hinges 180 degrees forward & is pinned in the aforementioned fitting.

Hinge & pin. My pic.

#6 skirt fitting. My pic.

Folded forward & pinned.

And the US SEPv4 has the dust cover, but no latch. LOLZ-

We got them too, but I do believe the early V3’s did not have them :+1::us:
