Found some similar armor for sale on the 'bay. Appears to be from the company American Body Armor, Xtreme Body Armor (possibly a subsidiary or product line of ABA), and/or Survival Armor (not sure on relationship to previously-mentioned companies). All three of these appear to have been used with American Body Armor XHP-IIIA.0 ballistic inserts.
Also noticed an old post from Nkomo featuring a vest of this type from ABA: https://oefoif.forumotion.net/t6998-rigger-modified-vest-with-aba-body-armor
Anyone have insight into the specific company and/or vest model number that would have been used at the time of those photos (~2002)? Any other historical information, photos (being used in period or in your collection), etc.?

For anyone interested, it seems to be the ABA OC3. I now believe that the ballistic inserts I mentioned above are not the correct inserts for this model.
