Turret of Panhard EBR. Whilst the oscillating turret was unsuccessful for the heavy tank, it proved more successful in allowing light tanks and armored cars to carry an unusually heavy main gun of 90 mm. In French doctrine, light reconnaissance vehicles were heavily armed and expected to also fulfill a role in defending the flanks of a main force.

French cold-war era Armoured personnel carrier The EBR ETT was a troop transport variant of Panhard’s EBR armoured car and it used many identical components. Testing of the two prototypes began in 1956 but the type was ultimately not used by France, although 28 were sold to Portugal, which is presumably where this example came from.
This led to the 8x8 Panhard EBR (Type 212) which entered service in 1950. [14] Similarly, in 1956 the French Ministry of Defense was persuaded to commission a replacement for the Daimler Ferret scout car. [3] Also manufactured by Panhard, the successor was the AML (Type 245) which entered service in 1961. [15]
