That lifting sling looks a lot like the one we used here at 202 Workshop Depot for lifting out M109 power packs. Will look around to see if I have a picture of it in use.

Well, I did some searching and found a picture of the M109 power pack lifting sling. The 109 sling has 4 attachment points, 2 on the engine and 2 on the transmission. Since your sling has 3 points, it could be for the M113 A1 and A2 power pack, but not for the A3, which also has 4 lifting points.

Looks like I was wrong. Your sling has 3 lifting points like the one for the M113A1 and A2 but it is not the same. I dug out a picture for the 113 and it definitely not the same. Me bad.
