As far as I am aware, this is the only M113 FOV that is on display in a 24/7 accessible public location, which in itself makes this vehicle unique. The others that I can think of are all on bases or other secure sites. Everything on the MRV is welded/secured/removed due to it's public position.

EDIT: Not detailed in those pics is the plaque on the flotation vane stating it was presented to the City of Wagga Wagga in 1991 in recognition of the long association of the City with the Australian Army (Kapooka Camp is nearby).
