I've read about that incident too Paul. I think they were using smoke or market rockets rather than HE. After all the PT-76 was make with ALOT of aluminuim which is pretty easy to penetrate.
As for that, concusion probably covers it, and an effect of the shockwave. Remember the stories of B-52 strikes and they would kill people from the concusion alone, they would be untouched in their bunkers but their brains and other systems would be scrambled from the concusion, or the shockwave that would suck all of the air out of thier lungs and again the concusion would basicaly destroy the lungs too. <remember firing a heavy weapons system and feeling the rumble or concusion in the chest? Now multiple it times ALOT! It would mess you up.>
