Sorry Abe ; But this weapon is called an ITV ( Improved Tow Vechicle ) its the first double barrel Tow that could be loaded from the inside . The four of us were sent on a crse. with the 1st Batt. 26 th Inf. in Gottligen W Ger.in 1982. This was the first time we seen the night sight for the Tow because as you know the goverment was too cheap to buy us any ! It was not a very good weapon system because of its high profile !
