The fact that this one has a welded hull and is being used by the Marines should make it a POA-CWS-H5, but those had the flamethrower mounted beside the main cannon, and this one clearly has it mounted in place of. The POA-CWS-H1 used that arrangement, but those were all built on M4 Composite hulls, so the front of the hull would be rounded like on the M4A1. Or at least that's what I thought. It turns out there were eight POA-CWS-H1's built for the Marine Corps using the M4A3 chassis. The name then should be M4 A3 POA-CWS-H1
