I think Mike might have been referring to the Michelin XL or XML treads. The Unimog when first introduced in service here had Hanno's type tread pattern and were naturally called "NATO pattern", but have now been replaced with the Michelin XL, which for the sake of clarity is known as the "NATO pattern"! ASLAVs are fitted with Michelin XML tyres, which to distinguish them from the Mogs are known as "NATO pattern".:
