What is that rectangular box thing on the front of all swiss M113s?

I think it's just a toolbox, but I am just guessing.

If we're talking about the same thing, then zooming in on Massimo's photo of the M113 S Pz 63/89 M-73580 it looks like a metal cover over a long roll of canvas - perhaps a camo net.

That is what I am talking about.

I think you're right Trevor but it also reminds me of the strips of wood sometimes put across the fronts of AFVs to act as a splash guard and to stop the drivers compartment getting flooded with water!
