Unfortunately, it appears one of the batteries cracked and leaked onto the floor, and ate a 1"x5" hole. Fenders have the usual dings, but all the recoiless rifle bracketry is there. Other than aging, the vehicle is essentially the same as when it left service.
Flat steel should be the least of a restorer's worries. Having all the unique fittings and bobbles makes it valuable. I've been corresponding with the new owner. As well, I know a Reserve unit that has a 106mm. If it isn't for sale, at least it will be a perfect "play date" for photos.
