Mark,
I emailed you 7 photos. 6 are various angles of 2 Russian GPA's, and 1 photo of a U.S. model. I can't vouch for these actually being Russian vehicles, but that's how they were labeled and displayed at the museum at Sinsheim, Germany.
I found several differences between the U.S. vehicle and the Russian models: the lower bow area of the Russian has what appears to be a plate welded with 3 holes in the lower portion, versus one hole on the U.S. vehicle; the Russian headlights are much larger; and the exhaust system (located on top of the deck in the front of the vehicle) is different. The U.S. vehicle has its exhaust running parallel to the windshield, while the Russian vehicles exhaust is perpendicular to the windshield on the right side of the vehicle.
Hope this helps
Al |
