Indeed that second image is from a Canadian magazine, but have you searched/found more evidence? Was that change consistent/permanent or did they use both names after that?

they still specify: "The International M1224 MaxxPro MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) is an armored fighting vehicle designed by American company Navistar International's subsidiary Navistar Defense".

Designed by, but not sold by.
Like we have cars designed by other companies than the company directly linked to their make :wink:

"Navistar Defense" is the company, not the make. On Wikipedia they still refer these as just Navistar like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navistar_7000_series
And some still as International: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_MaxxPro
Maybe some should be changed then, but maybe not all

Vehicles for specific markets could be branded "Navistar" and vehicles for the general public could be branded "International".

Not all should be changed.
SD is just for the 2000-2003, right?
The later ones are these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Cerato
for which LD is correct.
There are also many 2006 & 2008 made in Russia, are these correct with FB? Or is it also SD? Or is that something else?
