| Miscellaneous Info: | The Auto Mitrailleuse Le'gere' (AML) 60 vehicle is similar to the AML-20 and AML-90 Armored Cars, which all share many of the same parts/components as the M3 APC. Two (2) primary versions of the AML-60 were built, differing in the co-axial armament mounted. The AML-60-7 was fitted with two (2) 7.5mm machine guns, whereas the AML-60-12 utilized one (1) 12.7mm heavy MG. In addition, Ireland converted some of these vehicles by removing the 60mm mortar and replacing it with a .50 cal/12.7mm machine gun. This was referred to as the AML-127 or AML-60-127. South Africa also produced a vehicle based on the AML, called the Eland Armored Car. |
