Paul, I skimmed your site and maybe I missed it, but have you statted this BMP1A1 "Ost" version of the BMP-1?
I posted an image of a Unified Germany BMP-1 (I can't figure out to post it here) on the FB group and a member responded,
"The BMP-1A1 Ost is even more of an abomination than the standard BMP. The Bundeswehr modified them to be road regulation compliant, took the ATGM off, limited the speed to 50/40 kph (roadd/offroad), ruled the speed in training down to 20 kph to minimize wear and tear, deleted the gas tanks in the back doors and put steps on the side to climb the beast easily and without chances of self-inflicted injuries."
Apparently, unified Germany sold most of its DDR BMP-1s to Sweden, which refurbished them before selling them on to the Czech Republic. In a v1 timeline, they probably stay put in Germany.
