VCPC
Notes: This is the command vehicle member of the Argentine VCTP family. It carries extensive communications equipment (at least three radios, and usually more), as well as observation gear and a navigation system. The firing ports are retained, as is the rear ramp and roof hatches. The rear remote-controlled machinegun is removed, but there is a cupola with a machinegun mounted on it.

VCTP
Notes: This is an Argentine armored personnel carrier based on the same chassis as the TAM tank. In the VCTP, the engine is in front beside the driver, and a small, two-man turret is in the center of the vehicle, with a passenger compartment in the rear. On each side of the passenger compartment are three firing ports. There is a remote-controlled machinegun over the rear of the hull. Four smoke grenade launchers are on each side of the front of the hull. There is a ramp in the rear of the hull for passenger exit. A reserve tank of 200 liters capacity may be fitted to either side of the rear hull. The original requirement by the Argentine Army was for 300 VCTPs, but budget problems cancelled acquisition after only 210 had been built.
