Looks like the Italian marines.

Bonus points if you can identify the original AFV before its capture- and how many were captured.
This sentence always cracks me up... how can you tell? I can't see the beginning of writing anywhere on the picture... so did you find the same picture, in a source where you can trust that the image has not been reversed, or are you just a tank wizard? (of course we all know that you are a tank wizard, I'm just looking for confirmation)And your image is L/R reversed.
It's probably the shadows. Knowing what time of day most pictures were taken and given the angle of the sun at that moment, it's relatively easy to determine the correct picture alignment.This sentence always cracks me up... how can you tell?

And new nickname is bestowed.... "Tank Wizard Weir"....know that you are a tank wizard, I'm just looking for confirmation)
He noticed the licence plate on the front had reversed letters.This sentence always cracks me up... how can you tell?

We all bought into his backstory...Irish...retired-computer programmer...lives alone in modest row house...has several cats...plays mostly DYO......
Paul has super-secret software that allows him to view any 2D picture in full 3D. That has to be the story. Right?
His avatar picture is a true picture of him, but from when he was a child. There is no known current photo of him, and attempts to digitally "age" him (as they do with missing children) have produced images so hideous that anyone who views them has had to spend time in a psych ward. One poor soul has been in care for fifteen years.We all bought into his backstory...Irish...retired-computer programmer...lives alone in modest row house...has several cats...plays mostly DYO...
Now for the real story... Nationality unknown...active intel-officer for some western power (oh wait maybe he is FSB)...lives underground in a slick reinforced and EMP proof bunker...does have several cats (the cats door is coded to their footprints so they can access the fresh air when permitted)...plays on multiple-linked super computers...which as Footsteps notes gives Paul an advantage. This business about some 1972 tome he pulled off his book shelf...rubbish. He has a set of reading-glasses that allow him access to the BL, NARA, etc... So keep an eye out for the chap who appears just every so often at the corner shop to buy a carton of cigs and some cat treats. That is the Tank Wizard...
