I hope these are useful for someone, an angle on doesn't usually get to see.

You will note it appears devoid of an engine and im sure all cavities are dry to prevent range pollution.

Pure speculation, but prior to becoming a sniper's plinking target, it looks like it was battlefield recovered and then cannibalized at KAF. Quite a few vehicles were severely damaged during the recovery process rather than be either destroyed in place, or picketed for long periods of time. The RG was a real love it or hate it platform, but no doubt saved many lives.
