Understandable that you did not align the vehicle types. The "FSV" nomenclature was closely followed by "MRV", which are essentially 2 very different names for the same class of vehicle doing the same job.

Usual military inability to stick with terminology. Somebody probably got a promotion due to his ability to think up a new designation.

It was worse with our 113s that had the Cadillac Cage turret. If 2 x .30s were fitted, they had one designation, if a .30 and a .50 were fitted, then a different designation. As it was a fairly quick exercise to swap out the guns, it all seemed rather pointless to me.

Regards
Doug
