Default Cyprus OOB error

Cyprus OOB 47 errors:
Unit 031 Bren Carrier (never used): Should be replaced in all formations using it by the BTR-152 (unit 036) which was the main type of APC operated.
Unit 036 BTR-152 (should be BTR-152V1); First availability date of 1/72 is wrong. These were bought the same time as the T-34/85s (September 1964), arrived in late 1965 and were replaced by the Renault VABs.
Units 005, 006, 007: 005 and 006 are superfluous. Just 007 with first availability date around late 1965.

I don't have the book (yet) it's just the only photo of a Cypriot BTR that i found online.

There was also a locally made APC based on the Soviet ATS tractor but I can't find any online photos.
