Hi Jose,
I don't know if I'm right but the AMX-13s that are still in Peruvian service (AMX-13 EP?) seemed to be upgraded vehicles with early FL-12 turrets. It carries the 105mm CN 105-57 gun which is distinguishable by the presence of a double-baffle muzzle brake and the absence of a thermal jacket. It is observed that some of these vehicles have been further upgraded with the ability to fire either SS-11 or Malyutka ATGMs from two arms on either side of the turret bustle. Also note that the profile for the engine compartment has changed and that side skirts were also added.
Here's a link to some pictures that might be of interest to you:

FYI, I'm still in the process of gathering information pertaining to the AMX-13s around the world and hopefully, the results will be made available in the future after I update the volume on the chassis.
Regards,
Peter Lau
