Israeli Bren Gun Carriers dumped in the sea when they withdrew from the Sinai in 1948 ?. My dads friend witnessed them being pushed off the back of the ship.

The road wheels probably have mint rubber. Would sure solve the problem a lot of people have with wanting to cast new ones. Guess it would be pretty tough to disassemble the suspension three atmospheres down though.

Default AOP Carrier??

The carrier in the 3rd and 4th pictures looks to me like an AOP. And actually looks in better condition than the one I may be starting with!!
