Hi Frank!

As far as I can see, the Canadian version has armor arround rear roof hatches, a side rack w/ jerry cans and "T" suports for antennas (Canadian style). I do not know if they make the RC to the RWS on the interior.

Cheers!

There is also a tool rack on the right front fender.

If you look at the hull windows you will see a visibly different bolt configuration on the Canadian version.

From the picture, it also looks like there aren't pistol ports in the windows

The versions evolved during the Afghan deployment...they had ports on the first ones and as new ones were brought in the ports were eliminated.

So you could see either version.
