Tim, your first link has a link that originates in I'm guessing Russia? offroadvehicle.ru so I did not open it. As I said there is a lot of garbage 'history' and suppositional information floating around the net.
BlueChipper, It's not a spam site. It links to a PDF document by Kevin P. who I'm assuming is Kevin Pennell as referenced in the napco4x4.org link. It's an interesting read, and not necessarily "garbage history". Without first hand evidence, it's all suppositional information.
You seem to be a bit confrontational, and it might help if you toned that down a bit.
