It may well be that we ended up with a turret on a ferret, but that doesn't mean the ferret is on loan from the British. The photos are too grainy to tell the difference.
Heck, I stuck a hard top on a M548 years ago.....obtained through a bit of hook and crook. May well have been the only one in Canada. When the other batteries tried to get the roofs for theirs, the LCMM said noway, and that was the end of that. But the hardtop on the B bty one remained until disposal. And if there was ever a place you needed a hardtop on a M548, it was here in Shilo. My next modification to it was going to be a hot water type crew compartment heater to replace the finicky and too hot APC heater that came with the vehicle and could not be relied on.
