Hi Bill. Hopefully these will be a bit better. The bracket over the vent is the same as fitted on the turret of the ASLAV 25 behind the gunners hatch.
Before I seperate from the Army I hope to get a lot more detail photos of the exterior of a PWS car and the standard MG mount. Also I'll try and get interior shots of the TV, CV, Mortar variants and if available an Engineers and Ambulance.

Plus,

(take note of the Cark Mast Bracket on the front vehicle which is a Command Variant. It was an approved in country mod for all the CVs)
and lastly

Cheers, John

John
Great pictures and much better detail now. I had heard of variations amongst the Bushmaster's but it great to see them in the flesh all kitted out. The command variant is very interesting, is that a blue light at the rear of that vehicle or is it something behind?
Frenchy, as per usual you always pull a few rabbits out of the hat, I hadn't seen these details before so it is exciting to have these shots. I wonder how hard it will be to fabricate those Hesco baskets....;o)
I was wrong in thinking that the stowage rack just behind the front side windows blocked the AC vent. I guess if you can keep stuff from inside the vehicle there is more room for people and the more essential kit.
I am sure that everyone will notice the (Afghanistan Army?) HMMWV in the last shot (without the up gunner station) frag 5 doors (?) and interesting camo paint job. Nice composition for that last shot as well, great photos, thanks again for sharing.
Bill
