Indeed with so many links to process, it is possible that I miss some :wink:

for the M16 & M15, I remember going back as I renamed both the same way then saw the difference between the two numbers... I guess I modified the wrong one then :whistle:

About using the code field for the unique ID of the vehicle, it is sometimes done for some vehicles (e.g. Rolls-Royce I think), it can still be used for special cases like this one, when there is no other specific model code for that make.

AM General M611 - Origin/built in USA. The ID of Barreiros is wrong, it was being confused for a version produced in Spain, which this is not.

Borgward B IV - Additional info: Sd.Kfz.301. Years are wrong, and country should be Germany. They go here https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Borgward&model=B+IV

Stewart & Stevenson M1078 LMTV - As pointed out in the comments, production of this was turned over to BAE, but literally every other one of them on the site is under Stewart & Stevenson. So either this one should be too, or other ones which were presumably made under BAE should be moved over, and I don't know on what basis to make that distinction.

FMC M113A3 - Same thing as above, but these were made under FMC for sure.

Please set this one as 'Made for UK'. Viking is the British name for this version and it was filmed in the UK.

BAE Systems Caiman TVS
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_768738-BAE-Systems-Caiman.html

The Caiman's US Army designation was M1220 for the basic version, M1230 for the Caiman TVS, and M1248 for the Caiman CMTV. If you want you could add those in the additional info. It isn't super important to me, I just thought I'd let you know.

Some of these vehicles which are made by BAE's subcompany "BAE Systems AB", which is the part of BAE that now owns Hägglunds, are listed under Hägglunds when they really should be under BAE. Hägglunds hasn't existed since 1997, but these tanks still get called Hägglunds since BAE refers to the division that makes them as "BAE Hägglunds".

BAE Systems CV90

Hägglunds Stridsfordon 9040
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_545360-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-INF-1993.html - Clear additional info. They only started delivering them in 1994 so 1993 is wrong.

BAE Systems Stridsfordon 9040A
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_212611-H%C3%A4gglunds-Strf-90-40-A-INF-1993.html - clear additional info, it's just a mess of the name being written wrongly. Year is wrong.

For different generations we have a "Mk" field which can be formatted differently depending on the make/model.
This is for example used for the letter+code of the VW & Audi models, for the Letter of Opel models or the mk number of the Vauxhall models.
It could be used for these, if we find a way to make that display correctly (if the Sd.Kfz. part is at the end of the model name).

These two GMC AFKWX 353 can have "COE" removed from the name to match the other three. COE isn't part of the name, all AFKWX 353's were cab-over-engine.
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=GMC&model=AFKWX+353+COE

GMC DUKW-353 like the others. All DUKW's had the same wheelbase
https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_1707760-GMC-DUKW.html

This is kind of pedantic, but I would like if you would change "Mk.1" in this to "Mk.I". Commonwealth vehicles generally used roman numerals for the Mark's until the 1960s-ish, then changed to regular numbers. After a cursory search I didn't find any other WW2 era vehicles with a number rather than a numeral.

Shouldn't have a dash between M422 and A1

Schneider P16 - "AMC" stands for "Automitrailleuse de Combat", it's a description of what it is, not part of the make/model.

I'm not going to do them just yet, but eventually I want to go over all the German half-tracks. The issue is that for some of them (Sd.Kfz.6, 7, and 8 ) the differentiation lies in the model code, like with the Sd.Kfz.6 for example there were 5 different generations of design (Typ l 4, Typ l 5, Typ l 7, Typ l 8, and Typ 9) all called Sd.Kfz.6. While for others (Sd.Kfz.9, 10, 11, 250, and 251), all the different versions were differentiated in the military Sonderkraftfahrzeug number, which is really the name of the vehicle. For instance there were 11 different versions of the Sd.Kfz.250, from Sd.Kfz.250/1 to Sd.Kfz.250/11, with many different sub-versions, all of which had the same manufacturer's code, Demag D 7p.

I was going to suggest listing each model as the name + the model code, which is how I name them in my own files, but there doesn't look to be enough of them on the site for that to be worth it, apart from maybe the Sd.Kfz.7 Typ BN m 11. Plus when I look at other vehicles on the site, all different generations are combined together and not differentiated by model code, so I suppose I answered my own question.
