I have my RG-31/RG-33 reference I sell, which is a very good overall reference, However, it does not show the vehicle combat loaded. You can include such items as go bags (Legend makes a good set) water bottles, spare ammo cans, boxes of demo, special mission items (Carl Gustav, Sniper rile in case, etc.) I can imagine a few traffic cones as well. Bear in mind everything needs to be secured lest it become a deadly missile when the vehicle gets IED'd. Generic cardboard boxes are good too. We used to use them in our gun trucks when we went to he FOB (two hours away) to pick up mail. Pro Art makes nice ones. I would avoid Mountain Dew and Coca Cola cases. It's just not something I personally EVER saw. Maybe a few Rip-it cans lying around. Now that I think of it, maybe a few Skoal tins on the dash or lying around...

One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.
May I also ask if possible the crews removed some seats to get more room for other stuff? I also found a photo of US version showing the first seat on the right side heading towards front. Was that a common practice? Unfortunately the picture does not show the rest of the rear compartment
@Rick. Dipp, is that the cleaning liquid?
Thanks again, Jiri

I do not have any photographs of seats removed, but I guarantee if they had been given to SFODA's, they'd have had more than seats removed if that had been the him of anyone on the team.
By the way, dip = Skoal, which is just one brand name for dipping tobacco. We did not generally carry large amounts of cleaning fluids and other flammable liquids inside the vehicle. Small amounts of gun oil were in our go bags though.
