Hi Joe.
It sounds like what you have was a TOW equipped
version. If you look in the area of the data plate on
the dash you should find some little extra holes (4)
where the weapon system mod plate was affixed, also
look on the dash on the passenger side where the grab
handle goes, it would have extra holes in this area
were the missile rack was mounted. It is a common
misconception that the TOW was a modified M825, in
fact it was a modified production M151A2.
A lot of TOW M151A2's were put back to standard
M151a2's by national guard and reserve units when the
TOW was fielded on other platforms.
The M825s that were mofified back to m151A2's used a
kit, this was supplied with a partial rear body panel
that was grafted into the rear, it is normally easy to
spot the welds etc.
hope this helps
All the best
Mark
