Does anyone have images of these seats in modern HMMVW's in Iraq. They look like they would fit nicely into a M1114 I am building, but I just can't seem to find an image of them in service.

I did not see these seats in M1114s... only in GMVs. Perhaps someone here has more info.

Looking at the one picture Yaroslav has on the live-resin website it seems as though it is only used in GMVs.

I photographed the seats in a GMV-S in March of 2004 during my deployment in Iraq. You can see my photos here on my website.
