It's an interesting set up on that vehicle -- those are two firing ports for M231s on the side, I think, and those plates above must be armored windows. To get to the firing ports on an M113A3 they'd have had to remove the inner spall liners. Looks like it's had the hull drilled to run those claymore wires as well. I wonder who did the mods?. Kind of weird they'd do all that work on the hull and not mount some sort of uparmored cupola for the TC
