I found pics of airdrop test with LAV-25 A2. These pics show four tie-down rings along each side of the hull. Later pics show no such rings. Could be bolted on in case of an airdrop?

Frenchy, don´t get me wrong, but I am talking about the 4
rings/devices that are pointing downwards. I think they are intented to secure the vehicle on an airdrop pallet. My recent research prove that they were only present during airdrop tests in 2018.
