hi mate
from what i know a company of tanks in OIF 1 was made up of 3 platoons of 4 tanks each and 2 tanks in the HQs platoon, making 14 tanks per company.
1 ptn red rings on barrel
2 ptn white rings on barrel
3 ptn blue rings on barrel

each company named their tanks after their company letter, therefore the tanks you want are all from C company
the first number is which platoon, so C-13 is from 1 platoon and C-33 is from 3 platoon.
were those 2 tanks attached to 2 platoon at nassirya?

i have a large file of pics on 3ID from OIF 1, if you want me to send 3-69 arm file just drop me your email and they will be on the way ( on hols until 30th so will be after that date)

hope that helps
