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.

OK, you are correct

I had a look at

http://www.danskpanser.dk/Panser/m113a2.htm

which brings me to a M113 A2 DK. The photos I saw didn't seem to match the Icon

As well, icon 381 is NOT used by the "autralian M113 w" in fact it was only in use in one OOB and that was the Danish so the icon info was wrong and the Icon provided didn't appear to look anything like the photo's I looked at so I built my own and it will be included with the 2.5 supp

Ahhhh I see the problem here !

There appear to be two distict models of this vehicle. One with a M113 type rear with side protectors and one with an entirely different rear. The first photo I saw of this was with the sloped rear deck

Or am I seeing two different vehicles called the same thing?

No, you are seeing two variants of the same vehicle.

The standard PNMK M/92 is an M113A2 (with outboard, rearmounted fuel tanks), but a varaint (not included in SPMBT yet) also exists, being the PNMK M/92 modified with an add-on armour package from URDAN on the hull (like unit 75 "M113 HA") and extra ceramic plates on the turret. Look here for specifics.

Okay. But Icon 381 was used for the australian 76mm M113 variant some time in the past.

Thanks for adressing the issue.
