A T50 turret with a .30 calibre L3A3 Browning medium machine gun (MMG) has been fitted. The soldier in the turret services a M16A1 automatic rifle while the soldier below services the engine or transmission. The spare track links mounted under the spotlights provide some extra protection for the driver.
