History

This game representation is the short reconnaissance body with a manually mounted machine gun, not the longer VB2L, MILAN carrier or re-engined Mk2. The French Army equipment sheet identifies the XD3T four and a combat mass of 4,002 kg. Sources report differing lengths: the earlier table gives 3.87 m and the Army page gives 4.02 m. Differences in external fittings or measurement conventions may explain this, but that explanation is an inference.
