Those don't appear to be just any M113 either. They look like the extended version. I'm sure I see 6 roadwheels on the first one pictured.
Here in Canada, we are just in the process of extending the hulls on the bulk of the M113s which we will retain in service. At the same time they will get repowered, and I believe there were plans to install double wide Diehl track on them. The videos they showed us had them almost standing up they had so much HP. They raced an AVGP and won!!
At the same time that we relife the approx 300 carriers which we will retain, we will also be disposing of 600 that we no longer need. I have already seen some used for targets and in simulating minestrikes. There were hopes of selling some off to other countries.
