If you had bothered to look at the link the second last picture is in the same pose as the BF model pose. Note that the Bustle comes to the same point on the chassis deck. So it seems another model company agrees with BF on the portions. AFV recognition can be a difficult thing at the best of times. You may want to mellow out in your responses, a lesser person would find you rather offensive. Like my Sgt Maj always says, "Sir, relax, no one is shooting at you right now".

Each armored regiment fielded a Chi Đoàn Chiến Xa (pronounced chee doh-ahn chee-an sah), a squadron of M41A3 Walker Bulldog light tanks.

Given the Republic of Vietnam's limited technical capabilities, the American M41A3 Walker Bulldog light tank was well suited to the war in South Vietnam. They were armed and armored well enough to deal with most Viet Cong forces, while being easy to maintain.

When the ARVN cavalry faced North Vietnamese tanks for the first time during Operation Lam Son 719 in Laos, they discovered that tactics could compensate for their light armor, while their long 76mm guns could penetrate any enemy tank they faced.
