Guys,
Do you have pictures of Mamba Mk 1 in Blackwater operations in Iraq. I found few pictures and realized that conversion from Kinetic Nyala Mk 3 won't be easy.

Maybe walkaround of South African Mamba like this

Not sure if you saw these, just going by the title and not sure if it’s what you need.

It appears the mk1 was only in production/service for a year so photos might be hard to find.

The vehicle used in Iraq was the RG-31, a copy of the South African Mamba.

I know that, but PMC in Iraq (Blackwater) used Mamba Mk1 in white color from first picture.

Someone from South Africa should have walkaround of Mamba Mk 1 like one on second picture.
They are rusting somewhere.
