It'd be a replica of a vehicle that is near impossible to find. The
majority of which were sold or given to the Malaysian government. Any
AFV left in that region in a field is likely to be hard to get and in
very rusted condition. Likely they were recycled.

The replica 232 8-Rads seem to sell pretty well.

Potentially. If it's a good enough fake it might convince some "experts".
