Thank you for sharing your pics.
What are the differences between A1 and A2 version ?
Isn't "Rummage" the name for the british version which has also different add-on armor and only two side windows ?

Yes, the Rummage is the name given to the British Buffalo. However, I'm not sure of the British specific features vs US Buffaloes. We do have pics of the Rummage on Warwheels, so you can check our pics to see about the differences. You can use the link in my message above to find them
As for your other questions, we have that info on the Warwheels page as well. It states
"The initial vehicle design (retroactively referred to as "A1's") was later upgraded/improved to what is referred to as the A2 vehicle. A2 improvements include increased engine power/capability, upgraded armor package, increased vehicle range, improved mobility (new transmission with upgraded suspension), an upgraded ventilation/air-conditioning system, an improved robotic arm, standard roof-mounted weapons ring and the inclusion of spare tires/rims useable on all six wheels. Total production was approximately 200 A1 and 400 A2 vehicles. The identifying features to note so as to most easily distinguish between the A1 and A2 vehicles are the A2's identical wheel rims on all six wheels (vs. different rims on the front and back wheels of the A1's) and the larger front bumper with lights incorporated inside, rather on top of the structure".

Patrick, great site. I found it by luck while searching the net for photos. Also, thanks for the Buffalo explanation on A-1 vs A2.
