This vehicle is listed in the scout car database too, I think it's a scout car not a halftrack, in Belgium.

Hi all,
I've found myself a partscar for my M4A1 project. This M16 that I found is just too far gone to rescue. It's frame is far beyond salvageble. Pulled the engine and gearbox wich are good! I will give them an overhaul and I will be using them in my M4A1.
There was a data plate so we can add it into the database. I also managed to find the hood number under various layers of paint!
Framenumber: 293563
Ordnance number: 3005
Hood number: 4061294
Engine number: 160AX 25617
Engine rebuilt: 4/51 (I believe it is a US tag)
Winch model
Pedestal headlights

There's quite a few m15 and M15A1 survivors but only a couple in private hands have the original 37mm auto-cannon turret with the twin .50's. I have an m15a1 converted to M16a1 for Korea with the quad .50 turret, very common.
