I haven't found the turret ring diameter of the LAV-25 (but I haven't really searched for the info either) but according to one site I've visited a few times, the Bradley turret ring diameter is 150cm.
Does anyone have the the diameter for the LAV-25 so we can compare the two? Information source http://afvdb.50megs.com/ Specifically this page for the Bradley http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/m3bradley.html#M3 |

Well, I didn't find what I was looking for on my hard drives, but I did find this
https://euro-sd.com/2020/02/articles...mbat-vehicles/ Which, among other things seems to say that most Western European, Canadian, US, Australian, Swedish, Finnish, and Kiwi 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles with a turret are designed to accept a wide variety of other turrets designed for other 6x6 and 8x8 turreted vehicles. Not exactly what you were looking for, but useful information. And let me try something else I just thought of... be back again tomorrow.

MT-LB Plus...
Seems you can slap just about anything on top of an MT-LB. Both Russians and Ukrainians have been mounting all sorts of weapons that would have been widely available in the T2k timelines on the top decks of MT-LBs.
So far, I've seen: ZU-23-2 (RU & UAF) Vasilek auto-mortars (UAF) MT-12 Rapira AT gun (UAF) And, for a more modern timeline, a Turko-Ukrainian SEDAR remote weapon station (UAF) Pics: Rapira at left, and Vasilek in armored barbette (improvised) at right. -

For the ZU-23-2 in particular, Iraq had two different versions of an MT-LB with ZU-23-2, one open mount for use as a SPAAG and one closed turreted mount for use as an infantry support vehicle. The MT-LB is like a slightly more professional-looking technical - if it's at all possible to physically mount a particular weapon on it, someone has probably done so somewhere.

Ukrainian Ark
Although not really an example an armored fighting vehicle per se, this thread seems to be the most appropriate place for it.
This UAF battlefield medical vehicle- which looks like it just rolled out of Damnation Alley- is based on a BTR-60 chassis but looks nothing like the original. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...edical-vehicle -

From the Ukraine Weapons tracker Twitter account:
"An interesting Russian MT-LB variant was captured by the Ukrainian army in the vicinity of Vuhledar, #Donetsk Oblast - the APC was upgunned with a 2M-7 naval turret with 2 KPV 14.5mm heavy machine guns, originally intended to be installed on patrol boats and trawlers." https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status...HQls0Ub9SBiG2A That's a good amount of firepower for an APC, but the addition of the naval turret nearly doubles the height/profile of the MTLB. -
