Too much pickled herring and dark flatbread for those guys. Something must have 'gone off' as my grandmother would have said.

What is that 'siding' made of?

It's add-on armour. I read an article which talked about improving the armour protection of the Danish M113 to be capable of defeating 25 mm APCR, but I'm not completely sure if this is the armour they were referring to.

You can find some more photographs of the add-on armour at www.howitzer.dk/vehicl...fvm113.htm

Modern equivalent of "SchÃ¼rzen". Thin plates of corrugated steel with little holes in it, designed to catch and tumble smaller caliber rounds. At least that is what I've been told.

You can get a closer look here (warning: large picture!)
