I'm not sure. I'd say compare weights for a rough guestimate. It 
gives you and idea of the density of the vehicle. Granted there are 
some considerations with regards to weapon mounting and such, but not 
too much.

I was under the impression that the M113/M2/3 are all a family of 
vehicles with regards to many components like roadwheels and other 
things. I could be wrong though. Perhaps I'm just extrapolating more 
from the fact that all are made by United Defense.
