Norwegian Bandvagn
 
I’ve just noticed that the troop carrying BVs (units 58 and 59) in the Norwegian OOB (obat29) are classed as light APCs. The same vehicles in the British, Swedish and Finnish OOBs are classed as snow vehicles. Unit 60 - a BV202 classed as a heavy truck – may also be a snow vehicle. The BV202 and BV206 were designed to be snow vehicles.

Moreover, the word ‘Bandvagn’ is Swedish. Some of the formation names (168, 169 and 170) in obat29 use this word. I'm not sure whether the Norwegians call them Bandvagn or something else (Beltevogn?).

We (Norwegians) call it "Beltevogn", or "BV" for short. They are not armourd to my knowledge. Should not be confused with a "BF", which is a furred cap. The meaning of "BF" is a military secret, for those who have served in the Norwegian forces :D.
