Can anyone please help me identify these APC's and IFV's?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an article relating to the crisis in the Ivory Coast. Currently, I'm trying to assess the capabilities of the UN Operation there. The UN Office does not disclose information about what kind of vehicles are being fielded (they have pictures though) which has caused me to ponder on some things.

Contributors to UNOCI are Pakistan, Bangladesh, France, Jordan, Morocco, Niger, Senegal, Togo, and Ghana.

Image titled Rubicon-At first, I thought it was a BTR-80, but now I think that it's a Ratel APC.

Other image-Panhard AML?

Any help would be appreciated. Even if you can pin it down, any guesses would be great.

Thanks!

Definitely not a BTR-80. Or any BTR series vehicle for that matter.

Both right. The AML is widely exported and the Ratel is probably from Morrocco.

Second is definitely a Panhard AML. First is a Ratel, though most likely a mortar carrier variant or something like that (only one without turret).

Thanks!

Thanks for the help guys. It is greatly appreciated I knew I could count on the D-Talk community for help.

The article I wrote can be found here (it's just a small blurb about UNOCI reinforcements).
