I better put something up here before Kat turns this place into "Kat and some guys who post sometimes."
So - continuing with that whole, "What caught my eye about this M48" theme I ran with last week - here's another?
This beastie sits outside the Third Brigade, 3ID cantonment at Fort Benning.
There are two things about it that I found interesting. One is pretty obvious, the other, not so much.

Yer awfully focused on handles...
i ALWAYS checked sponson boxes for security...
...and perhaps my NCOs were even more zealous than I.
2. No mounting studs for the searchlight.
3. CC hatch vice turret.
Cheers
Hmmm, didn't the Isreal's replace the cupola? Could this be one of theirs?
1. Looks to me that it has Motorpool-expedient mud flaps vs. original equipment.
2. Possibly the wrong headlamps.
3. Battlecarrying SABOT, but the gunner's computer is set for HEAT.
4. Busted torsion bar on left side of hull.
5. 3 quarts low on transmission fluid.
6. Zippo equipped?
Olaf - I like your out-of-the-box thinking!
That's an M48 hull, boys and girls.
I think tomorrow I'll slap up a link to a larger version of the picture. Maybe tonight if I can stir my butt from the Throne of Argghhh!
Oh, and Olaf - I would find it interesting if the Gunner's computer was set to Canister. And no, it's not a Zippo - though that *would* be an Armorer-style sneeky thing to do.
The answers is, in fact, right in the picture. In a sneeky Armorer-style fashion.
Never mind.
So, no whinin' and no lawsuits.
Besides, I hadda 152 page report to finish, and I'm working on a 200 page plan, now.
Yes, they pay by the page, why'd you ask?
FbL and us girls are going to have to form a union or something. 0 X 12% = ...carp!
Good thing you're a rino with a wife who has her own gun or you might be intimidated. ;)
<ducks into bunker>
I'll have you know that I am a successful professional dancer at the KC repetoire theater on 12th street earning $300 a performance. Just don't tell my ex-husband. He might stop paying that whopping $50/mo child support.
Just don't spread any rumors about me. I might run for public office and you know how those media types are. They believe anything.
#1 road wheels on left hull side missing?
What's the deal with the flash suppressor, looks like it's got a bit of material missing around the bore, unless the angle is playing tricks on the camera.
Air Filter assemblies behind sponson boxes missing?
Headlamps aren't the wrong ones, they're just busted out.
Heater exhaust pipe missing.
Fire ext. handles not painted red or just plain missing.
And I also concur, the sponson box handles are all in no-go mode.
