To the BTR-50 APC variant C2 P20 easy to support.
1. From the USA Infantry Training course. Note the
reference sources at the top of the second ref.

I believe I've posted this a year or two ago in the APC thread as source info for you "game designers" as I remember Don used it and still might as a ref source. Glad to do so again. And a note about JANE's here, the editions we bought were not necessarily the one you can buy on the open market-savvy!?! Some have said I served with Capt. Jack Sparrow anyway...
2. Did I ever mention a lot of their info comes from some Russian guys? Anyway always a great go too site and very accurate and and first to report on equipment regularly.

3. Also another good site almost on par with globalsecurity.org.

4. Also a very good site and he's not afraid to list his references note these at the
bottom.

5. Again source refs at the
bottom.

6. Now we can address the added armor and personnel issue as it concerns the
BTR-50PK this version has the armored roof with C2 P8. This version was not as numerous as the the 50 or 50P ones as the BTR-60 was soon to replace it. But I don't want you to take my word for it, better to take the word of the company that made them for the Soviets in the first place and does the modernization work on them now. I think some might recognize this source. Note KMDB uses Crew 10 across the top of the table.

I'm almost willing to bet the product line in the left corner might just have some useful info in it, just a guess on my part though!?!
This was a warm up for my work to come and an exercise to make a point. Those that "know" me understand the point I made here, and some will never get it. No Wiki, Blogs or other such and I still have some more but I'm ready for bed. I did have a great day with family, a couple of old shipmates and friends, I hope you will as well!
