Response to Original style M-60

The original Slick 60 turret had the lift ring centered on the turret roof behind the mantlet with a left and right ring on the back corners of the turret, just like the M48 turret that it was patterned off of. The second style Slick 60 turret had the turret lifting rings in the same spot as the M60A1 turret; a lift ring on the front corners of the turret, to the left and right of the mantlet and the third ring was centered on the rear turret roof, behind the loader and commander's hatches. Compare the top photo with the photo linked from Patton-Mania.com and you will see the location of the turret lift rings and how they differ.
