With regard to the reversed driver's position, it could be that they just inverted the pic when they loaded it. Nothing more exotic than a simple human error...especially if the pics were originally done on film rather than digitaly.

If you just give a look at the picture from Flikr.com (MCAS Miramar Air Show) I gave a link to in my first post, you'll see that it's not a matter of inverted picture ....

No matter how it looks, at least film makers put some effort into mock ups. It wasn't too long ago when they just painted any tank grey or sand and slapped a cross on it.

if you notice my post up the page a little bit, this is not based on the chassis of an FV432. When you look at the pic posted above there is an FV 432 parked next to it. Now anyone with an eye for detail can tell that the chassis under the "bradley" and the FV432 are not the same. As my post stated above, it is based on the chassis of an M548. Which is based off of the m113 chassis.
The film was not reversed because if you look at the Turret everything on it is in the right spot.
So Once again, It Is Not An FV432
