The M-92 is only vaguely similar to a M113A2 Mk1 DK. This will be corrected in the 2.5 patch with my own icon

But they are the same vehicle.

The M113A2 Mk1 DK is SPMBTs designation for what is, in effect, a modified M113A2 with a 25MM turreted autocannon with a thermal sight. It is not, and never was the official designation, for any vehicle in the danish army whatsoever. The official designation is PNMK M/92 DK (PNMK= PaNsretMaskinKanon/Armoured Machine Cannon). The M/92 signifies the year of initial introduction, and the "DK" indicates a "locally modified" vehicle. The designation "M113A2 Mk1 DK" is nothing more than an obfuscation of the issue, but as long as you are aware of the fact that the vehicle represented in the game (in the Danish OOB) by the designation "M113A2 Mk1 DK", and the PNMK M/92 DK, is one and the same, I am happy.
