I believe the YPR has a different hull roof set-up and cupola arrangement, along with 25mm gunned one-man turret on top. AFV Club makes 2 YPR versions that are pretty reasonable, about $30 each. They have the NATO version:

and Dutch version:


They are available at Great Models Webstore.NATO ver.
Dutch ver.

I can't tell the difference between the two. Maybe someone else can tell you that.

It might be feasible but don't know why you would with the great YPR kit from AFV Club available.

Here's a KIFV I attempted to convert prior to the YPR kit coming out. It's the one on the left:

You can see the work that would have to be done.

looks like you would have to recunstruct the whole back side of the afv... but if your up for it go for it!
