I believe the venerable M3 scout car had been phased out long before 1973 (contrary to the M3 half-track)...

Frank, there are two Osprey titles on the Yom Kippur War. One on the Golan Heights action and the other on the Sinai campaign. I don't recall if there are any photos of Isreali scout cars in action. I would check for you but my copies are socked away somewhere. A Google search should yield you tons of photographs for inspiration. Good luck on your project with a great subject vehicle!
