Nun Nun in hebrew is WC "Weapon carier", the vhicle in the picture is the Patrol version of the Nun Nun, called "Batashit" it's mine shilded and has several MG mounts, projector, back to back seats. and more.
I belive the base for the series is the old dodge WC 51 or M-37 as they were produced under license in israel since 1969, from measurment the wheelbase seem to be almost the same.

hi eran and all of you!
the corect name is "batashit". its used for border patrol. i wrote used because the IDF replaced it with the ABIR based BATASHIT and later in some areas with SUFASHIT which is based on a SUFA jeep/
thanks eran
