I did not know that about bistro... aren't the French pretty stubborn about incorporating words from other languages into their own?
Very interesting...

It's funny, that units tanks look like they just came off field maneuvers in the boonies when they rolled into town. Especially when compared to some of the T-54, T-62, and VDV units... They had a scruffy appearance and the painted stripes were not as neat...

Enjoy Jeeves! Wish I could partake, but I have a long nite at work ahead.

Bruce the bottom photo is indeed a T-54. The vent cover in front of the loaders hatch is the main visual recognition feature difference between the two types. On the T-55, there is no vent there. The other external visual difference is the shape of one of the engine deck hatches. Otherwise, most differences between the two types are internal. And other external features are retrofitted to both types during overhauls.
