Books, listed on avaipress.com. Haven't read the book, have never seen
it, so I can't comment on quality of information. Some people don't like
aviapress.com for their ordering/shipping/etc. so I won't get into that.

Aren't the PT-76, ASU-85 and ZSU-23-4 hulls all similar? Wasn't one a
variant of the others? Could a reference on the PT or the ZSU help with
the lower hull at least?

Not to be too silly, but can you read Cyrillic? I found this link but
haven't the foggiest what it says. Appears to list the dimensions of the
ASU-85 but not sure which are which.

HTH, and I'll be quiet now,
