#1: M47 TRV? Author: Rick_Eshleman, Location: Lewes, Delaware, USAPosted: Sat Feb 22, 2014 8:24 pm ---- Is this a one-off deal? It's not mentioned in any sources that I'm aware of. Thanks, Rick
#2: Re: M47 TRV? Author: Costas_TT, Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:14 am ---- It's a local modification. The cable drum for the A-frame replaced the gun inside the turret. I recall reading about it and I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures on the web. I'll check and get back to you.

It's mentioned in Jane's AFV Recognition Handbook (1987 edition) as well as the Ian Allan M48 book by Geoffrey Tillotson. And these are just the two books I just took a look at. There should be more.
