Looks like an evolution of the Boragh APC.

Script on licenseplate looks arabic or persoarabic.

7 roadwheels means it is not BMP. Drive looks US made (return rollers, drive wheel).

Since Iran has had a number of US vehicles and upgraded them, this could mean Iranian vehicle, but I doubt you'd get to see such a nice photo from a workshop...  8)

The turret looks more like a mount for a mortar or low velocity 75mm gun, than a functional fighting turret. It is also very far back on the chassis.

Seemingly no room for infantry mounts makes me think infantry support vehicle. I don't recognize the 7 roadwheel tracks (7 roadwheels makes you think SPH or Leopard and it is certainly based on neither).

If I should hazard a guess without spending an hour on the nets it would be Jordanian or Arabic Peninsula fire support vehicle.

US made ? ->No.
Iran ? ->No.

(7 roadwheels makes you think SPH or Leopard and it is certainly based on neither).-> Big hint: rethink that.
Jordanian ? ->No.
Arabic Peninsula ? -> Well the costumer for which it is designed comes from it.

I'll yield to the next contestant.

Here is one that shouldn't take too long to identify.

 

[George Wallace]

Vulcan

 

[kkwd]

That is the weapon. Now what is the vehicle itself called?

 

[exspy]

kkwd,

The base vehicle is the American-designed AIFV.  It was a private project by FMC that was not purchased by the American military but went on to serve in the Dutch Army as the YPR-765, amongst others.

I don't know what the version is in your photo with the Vulcan cannon or which armed forces' it's serving with.  I would guess Korea.

Cheers,
Dan.

 

[kkwd]

That's right, a Korean vehicle produced by Daewoo Heavy Industries. It's designation is K263A1, 20 mm AA GUN CARRIER (Vulcan Air Defense System).

Must be my lucky day.  I won $2 dollars on ENCORE today too!

As I have nothing to offer I will defer to the more learned gentlemen on the thread.

Cheers,
Dan.
