The FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) you're talking of is an American company that has had a hand in amphibious vehicles from the LVT Alligator and Buffalo vehicles of WW2 through to (and in Massive numbers!) the M113 family of APCs, and later the Bradley AFV. Did they supply components for carriers, too?
Ford Motor Company has often marked parts "Ford", "FMC", FMCo", or "FoMoCo" through the years. I have an Aussie Jeep trailer that was made, and marked, by FMC, Geelong. Absolutely Ford, not Food Machinery Corporation.
