M-113 based movie prop, made to look like a BMP-1.

This one is not a FMC M113.

The M113 has a bigger hull and the wheels are evenly spread.

Good catch on the unevenly-spaced wheels.
Another possiblity is the Greek Kentaurus APC, which is very similar to an M-113, but is lower, and it has a low turret.

I think it is a genuine Soviet tank. But so far I cannot name it. :think:

It could possibly be the Soviet BTR-D. The BTR is an airmobile variant of the BMP and the D, which appeared in Afghanistan, is a turretless version. The only info I have found on it is here: http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/armored_vehicles/bmd-1.htm. Hope this helps.

This APC is definately a Norinco YW531 (otherwise known as a Type 63):
