Yes, these are Cadillac M41 'Walker Bulldog', delivered to the Danish Army in 1962, updated by Falck Schmidt of Odense in 1969-71.

The FMC M113 was first delivered in 1962-64 and updated, again by Falck Schmidt, in 1972-73.

Actually FMC stands for Food Machinery Corporation, later changed to Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (FMC Corp.).

The name is not a twisted sense of humor ('How to make minced meat on the battlefield.') but originates from the company's roots of crop spraying machines.

So what is the name of these armored vehicles? FMC M113?? This page will be for them not for the tanks.
