Fallout Re: Soviet/Russian BMP-2 discrepancies

Russian configuration and foreign mount systems (KLIVER and PREDATOR.) show only main weapon and KORNET. I have two pictures that show Russian mounted BMP-2M configuration. Note BMP-3 has single mount multiple launcher in second picture as well. And yes it appears also from the pictures here as well that they must be in either in an AT or Infantry direct support configuration. Previous BMP-2 models had single tube launcher (4 Missiles.) also pictures and tech drawings below again from Ref. 1 show no AG-17 weapon mounted on them or similar. I do not know if the newer/current Russian BMP-2M mounts their KLIVER Launcher mount as shown in the picture to the right as shown on what appears to be a BMP-2.
Look in lower left "box" of ref.1 for KLIVER and PREDATOR.
