Are these similar to the Canadian ones.....and who makes them?

Maple Leaf models makes a an external fuel cell kit fo the M113. Good price to. Canadian!

I would confirm the lighting arrangment on the external tanks depending on what you are planning on using them for.

Paul is correct. The MLM kit provides tail lights for a Canadian M113 A2 not a US version. The MLM tanks are excellent in themselves, you would have to make the tail light shrouds for a US vehicle if that was indeed you plan.

But if you are looking for Canadian external M113 tank then the MLM set is the way to go. Better fit than the ones in the VP TUA kit and the MR Modelbau Canadian M113 details.

Verlinden used to make the US style set, not sure if they still do. The Academy M113A2 comes with them, as does the new Tamiya M113A2 Operation Iraqi Freedom, they also come in the Italeri M163 Vulcan. As noted already, they are different from the Canadian style in the light pattern.
