What museum would be complete without an M114 Lingle?

M60A3
This vehicle is a M60A1.
No thermal shield on the end of the exhaust pipe for the personnel heater.
No wind sensor mast at the left rear of the turret. Possible it is not there, but many of the display 'A3's still have them.
No thermal blankets on the main gun barrel. Again it's possible they have been removed.
Ball mounts for the searchlight over the main gun are still there. That tells me this vehicle was not upgraded or build with a thermal FCS.
Check the right (from the driver's point of view) range finder cover. The 'A3's have a small hatch that closes the openning to guard the lazer ranger finder on the 'A3's. This vehicle does not have that small cover.
If I remember Joe_D's briffing, I think the gunner's dog house is the older 'A1' type vis the newer 'A3' types.
I think it's an newer model 'A1'.
It does have chin fillets and the heavier side ways tie down points on the hull sides.
Possible ex-NG vehicle due to a full set of the aluminum road wheels.
That my call off the top of my head,

I'm not sure I agree that it has the heavier chin fillets. I'm going to have to dig out JoeDs reference photos. Looking at the front view I thought that the heavier fillet had a less distinct line where the fillet met with the turret ring (because it had been filled in and smoothed out)
