Note the large snatch block fitted , this was moved from its previoous possition over teh drivers comartment, as this is a large and heavy bit of kit would not fancy having to carry it down from  here when needed. You can also see the extra sections fitted to the snorkels to give them more height. This was not done to all the BARV's only those left in service at the time. BARV's 04 ZR 49 and 02 ZR 30 still can be seen with original fittemtn of the snorkels.
