If there's ever an update/revision of the CVG, I noticed two things.

First, on page 26, the caption refers to the Ondova T-72M1 as an Ondava.

Second, another vehicle that could be added is the OT-810D, which was the OT-810 with an 82mm vz. 59 (M-59A) recoilless rifle (which Paul has here). 280 of them were converted from the APCs in the 1960s. At least 4 are known to survive today in Czech Republic.

Sort of a third thing but not really, the OT-810C was also notable for having an enclosed passenger cabin, so infantry were a little less vulnerable than in the Sd.Kfz 251.
