Can I make a suggestion? Move the crane to a corner and fold it down 
for a stowed position. Add some boxes on the top and add a 
superstructure for more crew space inside (there isn't a turret 
right, so they'll probably be happy for some more head room).

Note the spare power-pack stored on the rear of the vehicle.
specifically:

Any box out of your bits box with a bit of paper wrapped over it and 
painted OD would work as a stowed power pack. As wide as your unit 
is, you might get away with two power-packs.

Chains, spare road-wheels, tool lockers and other stuff enhance the 
look of an ARV. Heres a centurion ARV.

Compare the Leopard based ARV to the AEV in Canadian use...

Here is a M113 based AEV

A tracked load carrier works better in this capacity as you now have 
a place for kit or a work area:

Here's the israeli M113 Fitter..

And a good view of most models.
