Which (if any) of these two wheel sets from ET Model would be correct for a Soviet BTR-70 in Afghanistan? They are just listed as Type 1 and Type 2. Looking through some pictures, I am having trouble identifying the correct set. Thanks

I'm no expert but I'm going to assume both styles were present in Afghanistan. Just pay close attention to the hub of the wheels, the two styles have different hub designs.

Technically yes, one is for the "early" model and the other for the "late" is the simplest way to put it.
