Hey John,

The tracks in that shot are the mid-production pattern Weasel tracks that had rubber cable on the outer edge as opposed to the later style with a rectangular band with cables inside.

Our M29C had the later style tracks on it until my brother threw one off playing Dukes of Hazard with the vehicle. It has taken awhile but I've completely rebuilt the earlier set of track in that shot and planned to get them mounted onto the vehicle. Problem is that pattern requires the earlier and slightly smaller diameter drive and idler wheels which I still need to source.

Shot attached of the tracks for reference even though it is off-topic.
