Does anyone know where a tow cable(s) was /were mounted on the M60A2 AVLB?It would seem odd this vehicle does not have an obvious mounting point. I google imaged, but couldn't see anything,or any fixtures that would look like holders for the cable.

They both go along the left side of the turret ring. In the below pic you can see the two rear attachment points just above the engine louvers.
Here are my rendition of them. Same basic angle as above.

Thanks, Gino, perfect.I assume the water can holder is stock, not a unit addition?

Yes, it is standard. I replaced it on mine and added the back piece since the Dragon one looks pretty bad.
