Hi,

first I say hello, because I'm new here :wave

I was at Fortaleza San Luis (Santiago de los Caballeros) and in there are 4 Military vehicles and different guns. Now I tried to find the types of each. Two one's I was able to identify (one Landsverk L-60 SIII and one M3A1).

So I hope one of you can help me with the other ones.

They're both 4 wheeled and armored.

Hope to get some Information about this vehicles :confused:

The second picture is definitely the Pansarbil Lynx.

This book mentions something called the "M-16 APC", but I've been unable to figure out what it is.

The armoured car is a Panserbil m/39, see here...............



The Pansarbil m/39 or Lynx was a Swedish 4x4 armoured car that AB Landsverk began developing in 1937 for the Danish Army.

The Lynx had a low slung body with well sloped, but thin, armour. The 140 hp Scania-Vabis petrol engine was in the middle on the left side. The crew consisted of six troops; a forward driver and hull machine gunner, two similar positions in the rear hull, and two crew in the revolving turret which mounted a 20mm Madsen cannon and a coaxial light machine gun.

Three vehicles were delivered to Denmark in April 1938, but a further batch of fifteen were still awaiting delivery to Copenhagen when the war broke out in 1939. These were then confiscated by the Swedes who employed them as the Pansarbil m/39 and ordered a further thirty units for the Swedish Army. As Landsverk lacked the capacity the new batch was manufactured by Volvo, and hence powered by a Volvo engine, designated Pansarbil m/40.

All Swedish cars were fitted with a Bofors 20 mm akan m/40 automatic cannon instead of the Madsen.

In 1956, 13 of the m/39s were sold to the Dominican Republic.

is (or was) the top armored over or supporting a turret of any kind, I have been looking on or off for about 2 weeks now and cant find anything exactly matching it, although it looks alot like a Sd Kfz 221/222/223 with a modified hood, maybe a local mod for extra cooling? I thought i saw one alot like this in heartbreak ridge being operated by the cuban soldiers but its been awhile since i have seen the movie.

M-16 APC (per wikipedia be it as it may) 1953 in Korea

Profile of APC looks similar to the modern ACMAT Bastion, perhaps an older product by this company.
