Could it be an error from the army.

The army tends to keep somewhat up to date on such matters. As Jon mentioned, artistic license is the probable cause of this mis-matched symbology. Unless the previous owner was the inspiration for "Back to the Future".

Default markings

Hello

1st CDN Div was still being used and Vehicles in Europe had the Div marking on it.

I have a photo of an M113 APC with a white number 60 on a red background, being used in Europe by the Black Watch of Canada.

From the same era i have seen photos of Canadian Guards vehicles in Germany with a white 7 on a red background.
http://www.canadianguards.ca/guardair.htm 1962 in Germany

Any of the Dodge M37's we bought for Korea, stayed in Korea and they were the US version. This was discovered by two researchers working on a book for Clive Law.

This may not help with identifying the unit, but it does verify that the red background was used on 1st Div vehicles.

Thanks
Eric

Default foot in mouth

That makes sense, now. Guards were in Germany as part of 1 CA Division until 1957. My apologies.

So the markings are probably correct.

I am looking for a ladder for my M-152 like the one beside the tailgate in picture one. Might you be willing to part with it?
