Once again, in order to reconcile our M20 Ridgway with established T2K canon...

"As it happened, the LAV-75 proved admirably suited to the 3-73rd's [of the 82nd Airborne Division] mission and, with a few alterations, was adopted [emphasis added]."

I'd like to propose that those "few alterations" included a new, 105mm-armed turret, side skirts, and lugs for ERA.
Said "alterations" would then have been retrofitted to existing vehicles and incorporated into new production.
