Yeah; I saw a picture of the XM800 at the FMC plant and there's a plastic pan sitting underneath it.
(as an aside, a long while ago I saw the weirdest damned thing, it was a picture of an M22 Locust in a park, but it was just sitting there on a slight pedestal. No plaque, no nothing. Just like...hey, we need something in the park. Here's an old tank.)
