Can anyone provide any details of this combination, as used by the Iraqi Army in the Gulf Wars? I have a few pictures but want to know how the gun is connected to the vehicle?

It looks like its mounted on a turntable set-up inside the BTR 50. The superstructure appears to be modified as well. The Iraqis also added the guns to MTLBs. They had posts to mount them. At first I thought it WAS an MTLB...
