Team Yankee Soviet Motor Rifles and BRDM-3 recce

Russian BRDM-3 with AT-5 'Spandrel' missiles.  

So another unit painted, actually, bonus time, 2 units.  Back when I ordered up a tonne of modern soviets in 15mm scale, I got 4 BRDM-2 recce vehicles (see below) and was trying to figure out how to incorporate them into my Team Yankee force... when I realized the above picture.. that is the same chassis, but with the AT-5 Spandrel's up top.  Perfect!

Scout car with a BTR-80 turret.  Nothing fancy.   But in Team Yankee we have AT-5 armed Recon in the form of BMP-2's
 So how could I turn these into BRDM-3s with AT-5's?
