Below are some photos that I took of two Turkish Army Armored Geländewagens in Baghdad, Iraq.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing.

Though differences are very subtle, the first two pictures show a W463 and the two others a W461.

What do you base that on, Morty?
Like your animation, btw

It's rear lights, mirrors and twin bumpers.

Barn doors are typical of armoured versions becuase of the weight of the single door: I am pretty sure that the 463 is not armoured

mortinson,

The beige W463 is a G320 and it is armored.

James, by looking at the pictures the only thing that occurs to me is that you were right... and so was I. It is obvious that the luggage compartment is not armoured but the rest of the car is... a big giveaway should have been those 16" Astraroth rims, also typical of recent armoured GWagens!

Thanks for sharing!
