M60A0 SN 3332, RN 9B3332







Iraqi 2S1





Type 59





Can anyone make out this SN? Perhaps by playing with the contrast or something? Need a photoshop ranger...

That would be a Type 69.

Neil,

Nice pics,

About the M60, Where did you find the SN at. The one you list (3332) is conspicuously the same as the RN (9B3332). Can't be right, since my records show after SN 2209 they switched to M60A1 production. Based on the RN she should be between 200 and 250.

BTW, your not the first to report this tank as SN 3332.

Joe,
Pretty certain both SN and RN came off the vehicle - SN off the rear deck, RN off the front hull.

I'll try to post pics tonight.

9B3332 should be M60 S/N 216. S/N 3332A and 3332M are M60A3s, of course.

Okay, now I dont remember where I got that M60A0 SN, probably old notes. Here's a link to the rear deck (So I dont bust the 10 pics/post rule) - SN 216 as Kurt says...

Thanks Neil,

Kurt,

I thought she might be SN 216 since the RN was low enough to be before examples were sold to other countries. Just wasn't sure. Good call.

Unless you got a master list of USA RN's????? Shocked
