Durrings it long service life small alterations where done to all the BARV's still in service. the original s where all given a mesh walkway which later in service life was latter changed with the adition of teal plate tread ways on the front section by the hand rail and also the rear section from the back to just infront of the radiator housing.  Other additions included raising the snokels about 8 inches to allow water to over lap the breaker boards with out the risk of entering the air intake system. the difference can be seen on the BARV in the test tank.
