After the war the new contest for a postwar armored car saw the Panhard proposal as winner against two other French firms.
In the early 1960s, the decision was taken to rebore the SA 49 to the internal dimensions of the D 921A 90 mm low-pressure rifled gun (CN 90 F1) of the AML-90, allowing the retroffited EBR to also use the powerful OCC 90 EMP Mle 61 fin-stabilized HEAT shell fired at a muzzle velocity of 750 m/s (2,500 ft/s).

The first delivery occurred in 1976, and production continued at a rate of 30 to 40 units a month. [8] An armoured double-door at the rear allows access to the passenger compartment.
