Anyone know for certain (photos maybe) if the Golani Brigade ever used turretless T-34s as APCs? Sort of a pre-Achzarit idea?

I don't think there were enough of them to go into production.

At least a 4 people I've asked from Golani units in the 50s - 60s t period said a few were given simple pintle mounts like those on the btr 50s &ot 62s. There was also a post on The IDF forum about it, the guy who runs it is not known for inventing stuff he actually usually comes up photos.
