About the only difference I can spot is armored protection for the IR projectors, (although there may be further differences in things like sand filters and what not).
In any case nothing that would show up in the game stats. A small number was fitted with
Type 69 style side skirts but that's it.
If any were fitted with laser rangefinders I have never seen them (an addon LRF would have been external
in that timeframe), although I have heard (but not seen) that at least one prototype was made fitted with it and
I cannot rule out a limited batch production. So, as I noted in the previous post there should be
T-62s without LRF available in the 1980-2003 timeframe and they should be prevalent.
Units 28,586 and 617: TR-77 tanks.
I suggest their availability starting date to be anticipated to 1982
(currently they are available since 1987).
Unit 617 is available until 2020 but all the T-55 type tanks in the new iraqi army service are T-55/type 69.
Final date should be 4/103 at the latest.
According to the SIPRI registers about 150 of these tanks were delivered between 1982 and 1984. Realistically I doubt those few tanks may have survived past the Gulf War, maybe not even the Iran-Iraq war. They certainly should not be available past OIF.
Unit 523 BMP-1a
Same issues as unit 67.
