28 units received.. Portugal was the only country to receive this version of EBR. France didn't even commission it... However, I've never read anything negative about this troop transport armored.

Inside of above mentioned Panhard car.Note steering wheel and pedals on the floor for driving car backwards.How old is that idea?

Also exact same arrangement of driver access doors like Renault FT-it if works don't change it.Come to think of it entire front looks a lot like Renault FT
