"Air guards" for LAVs?

Saw these pics today and thought it could be helpful in some situations in CMSF. They could, of course, be told to button/open up by selecting the passenger unit and issueing the "open up" command.

Two light armored vehicles from Company D, 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 8, speed across the Iraqi desert toward Al Qaim, April 19. The Marines of Company D were operating in support of elements from the 7th Iraqi Army Division conducting a route clearance operation in the deserts of western Al Anbar province.

Asked a similar question here, no official answer.

I'd like to see working hatches on BMPs too...

What type of LAV is that to the left? Raised superstructure and fold-out hatches. That looks like the only LAV-A2-L (logistics) vehicle pict I've ever seen. I've seen a picts of the LAV-A2-M (mortar), same folding roof hatch but no raised superstructure.
