Any South Africans or folks in the know, What type of Unimog chassis was the Buffel APC and Valkiri Rocket Launcher based off of?

By Looking at when Valkiri was developed (1971), after a fast Wiki search on Mercedes Benz Unimog, gives me:

- must exist before 1971
- U406 (production start 1963)
- U406-80 was introduced in 1969 (U406-70 was introduced in 1966, but had many upgrades up trough the years)
- Argentina was the first country to manufacture the Unimog outside Germany, in 1968

Buffel

Wiki says it made use of the chassis, engine and some other components of the Mercedes-Benz U416-162 Unimog

U416 is basicly the same as U406, but with a longer wheel base; 2,900 mm (U416), 2,380 mm (U406)
