Note that the skate rail has been removed. From my experience this makes the hull sides very floppy and I doubt the vehicle could be operated for very long in this configuration without serious problems, particularly with door closure.The armour plate on these vehicles was a very precise fit. The Australian armoured observation post conversion retained the skate rail probably for this reason as the additional sloped armour made the rail useless as a gun mounting for most of its length.
