I've been saying that these are just storage boxes for two years. Thanks for posting the photographic evidence here 

The boxes with ribbing are storage.
Full length + height module configuration is armour. Except for the front right modules which appear to be storage + armour:



Armour configurations:

The new armour could also theoretically be used in the lower glacis and side add-on packs.
Powerpack has been known for a while but to what extent isn't.

@Dinmoo Storage container for misfired rounds. So insurgents can't pick-up the discarded round and create bombs.

On thing i dont get about this and centauro vechile. Does it has one ore nine differentials?

Official literature lists only one.
In a H-Drive system I believe that a differential-like component for an individual wheel would be classified as a (limiter/reducer?) gearbox.  

oh god how did these get here im bad with computer

Nexter Group and John Cockerill unveil new VBCI 8x8 armored vehicle fitted with 30mm weapon station





 

Quote

The Nexter Group is exhibiting at HEMUS alongside Belgian industrialist John Cockerill Defense (JCD). The two partners share the same stand and are presenting a mock-up of a joint product: Nexter's VBCI 8x8, on which JCD's 30mm 3030 turret is integrated. This project concretizes the cooperation recently initiated with Belgium that could serve as a model in Europe : the Motorized Capability Program (CaMo), notified to Nexter in 2019, plans to supply the Land component of the Belgian army with 382 Griffon multirole armored personnel carriers (MPCVs) and 60 Jaguar armored reconnaissance and combat vehicles (EBRCs). The intergovernmental agreement signed between France and Belgium seals a strategic alliance for the two armies, but also a long-term partnership for manufacturers in both countries.

Kylare = Cooler

4.2 Exhaust and cooling systems
The exhaust system enters the belt shelf adjacent to the engine compartment, then the exhaust pipes follow
the tape shelf along a channel all the way back where it finally opens. The exhaust pipes have a temperature
at about 550 ° C and is covered with insulation. The temperature in the estuary is about 500 ° C.
The operating system for air cooling in the belt shelf is a fan at the back that draws air away
the engine compartment and through the entire belt rack. The flow is currently about 230 l / s.
The engine cooling is a system with cooling water that after passing out of the engine passes along
the tape shelf. The temperature of the cooling water is approximately 100 ° C.
The engine air cooling system is located in the front of the engine compartment and the air intake is on top
the hood. When the air is filtered, debris and particles that must be blown away, the fan gets stuck
who performs that work is called Scavenger and blows out the unclean air on the right side of
the carriage.
