Love the Otter! what unique piece of history...as for the damage...it'd kind of a tough call, patching as would have been done in service will leave a lot of the uninformed thinking it was a poor restoration...tough on some folks ego, not on others..completely repairing it as if it never happened seems to be like re-writing history...as for range damage..I think it is fine to leave it as long as you don't misrepresent it...it is a very interesting thing to see what kind of damage can be inflicted on armor plate...I have some plates we cut out of our range find Sherman that I kept just to be able to show people exactly what happens when a round penetrates a tank...the circle left on the inside around the point of entry is amazing...and frightening to think where those metal splinters would end up
