Hello,

I think the pictures shows a Lynx Scout car.

Take a look at this : http://www.mapleleafup.net/vehicles/cmparmour/lynx.html

I agree with Heinrich. According to James W. Loop, the ARVN didn't use Daimler Dingos, but it was equipped with ex-Malaysian Ford Lynx scout cars. You can see his letter to the editor of Armored Cars mentioning that here (on page 7) :

Informations about the Lynx pictured in the first post here

Azimut had released a resin 1/35th scale Lynx but it's OOP...;
