Japanese armoured car that also ran on rails by replacing the tyres … I don’t recall the designation off the top of my head, but I’ll go look that up before typing on

These are Leopard 1s, you hopefully won’t have to look up. But which variant are they? Be specific and correct

 

[Lee W]

Well I went by what Google and a book gave me... both type 91!

I meant you meant 2593, not type 93 — sorry for the ambiguity
