Good news, you can use the AFV kit M548 for OIf dio.

it was really hard to figure out whether that vehicle was still in use and used in OIF

Hello Olivier

Bad news, I think this a M548A3, not a A1 (no front winch) but the modifications shouldn't be that hard to do : mainly delating the winch and changing the steering...
You can go there to see the differences between the two versions :
