my C15TA page for pictures of C15TAs in use in Vietnam in the 1960s. Note that the hull side armour has been extended in an effort to improve crew protection. This feature was found on Malaysian C15TAs as well. Apparently other AFVs were sold by Malaysia to Vietnam, so perhaps the C15TAs and Lyxes were too.
Quote:
Simon Dunstan in VIETNAM TRACKS Armour In Battle 1945-75 captioned the picture on the left as follows: "The ARVN employed a wide range of vehicles for convoy escort, including this Canadian 15-cwt GM C15TA Aromored Truck of Second World War vintage. Such elderly equipment was normally used by service support units and 'Ruff-puffs' (RF/PF - Regional and Provincial Forces). (James Loop)"
