- Neil_BaumgardnerIts probably a museum piece simply due to the fact that its a base M3 Bradley model rather than an M3A3, or M3A2 or even an M3A1...

2AA = M2 (basic), 3AA = M3 (basic), 4AA = M993 (basic).
2AD = M2A2, 3AD = M3A2.
2AB = M2A1. Since all A1s were (theoretically) converted to A2s, if there are any out there, they would be few and far between.
2AC = M2A1(-). There weren't very many of these to start with, and they were all later converted to full-up A1s (and theoretically later to A2s).
2ADR = an M2A2 converted or reconditioned at Red River Army Depot. There may be some Brads out there with a "M" in the S/N - this would be a vehicle that was converted from A1 to A2 at Mainz Army Depot.
I don't know if the M993A1 changed S/N prefix, but it might be 4AC.
There were also some onesy-twosy Brads produced with oddball S/Ns, like 3MM00001 - this was an M3A1 produced for Martin-Marietta in June 1986. There may still be some of these oddball vehicles stashed around somewhere.

The M65 Atomic Cannon is from United States Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen, Maryland ?

it has the prime movers.
The original M65 from Fort Sill haven't got any prime movers.

Where exactly is it now ? in Artillery Museum or in other location at Fort Sill.

This is just a guess on my part but I would think sense Fort Sill already had a M65, the APG weapon system would have went south (I can't remember the name of that post) with the other Ordnance items. That is large system and it would be cheaper to keep it with the Ordnance collection rather that ship it all the way out to Fort Sill. That one at Fort Sill has been there for as long as I can remember. I wonder if Sill has the tranporters stored away some were.
