Doesn't Yugoslavia already have US-built M3 halftracks? Aside from the overhead cover for the compartment and a bit longer range, this doesn't have any apparent advantages over the existing vehicles - and in terms of suspension, is probably a step backward. (I rate the American HVSS suspension as superior to that Germanic torsion bar system with the interleaved road wheels.)
Why not design an improved M3 variant with this thing's diesel engine and overhead cover?
A full track infantry carrier would be nice but that is beyond Yugoslavia's capabilities at the moment, so the M48 is an interim vehicle that can be produced at home.
