#3 From the photo I saw it looked like the SUV was raked by machine gun fire from the front. Lots of entry and exit holes on both windshields. The front showed round entry holes and the rear metal panel showed exit holes.

The olive drab vehicle was not well marked. The front had what looked like a blue circle on the hood (with "MC"?). Same on rear panel. Hard to see by a crouching machine gunner.
