i spent 18 years in army intel, most of the time the only markings were the 2aircraft and parachute stencel on the lower front and the sides. that way the crew could get another vehicle from pre prositioned stocks. other than that it may be a 3 didget code X-X-X (GUN NUMBER, PLATOON, AND COMPANY) SUCH AS 232 = 2ND GUN, 3RD PLATOON, 2ND COMPANY.

the wheel well highlights (white pinstriping) came out in the mid-late 80s so they would be too late for the ASU-57. by that time the BMD-2s and the 2S? (upgunned BMD) were allready in service.

thanks
dave
