Unit 291: Al-Walid
Current initial availability date is 1/65. SIPRI lists 1980 as delivery date and given iraqi purchase patterns
I think 1980 is more likely.

Unit 294 and Unit 394: FUG-70
Current initial availability date is 1/72. SIPRI lists 1981 as delivery date and again given iraqi purchase patterns
I think 1981 is more likely.

Unit 393: OT-64 R-2u
Like for the others OT-64s discussed previously intial availability date should be changed to 1981.

Unit 602 and 282 : Panhard AML 60
Unit 285: AML-90
Current initial availability date is 1982 for unit 602 and 1990 for unit 282. According to SIPRI the first ones were delivered in
1967 together with the AML-90 (currently available since 1965). I suggest an intial availability date change for all three units, with all three starting in 1967.
The AML-60 are also issued with AP rounds for their guns. Given that it was a 60mm mortar I would doubt
but given how obscure such things are it will take some time to research. For the short term the date change can suffice.
