Saw this in front of a closed VFW post on our ride today. Had never seen one prior.

With those track, it looks like a hybrid "Duck", although it appears to be smaller.

It looks like an M76 Otter. It was an amphibious cargo carrier used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). I suppose it could have carried troops, but I don't think it was officially designated as an Armored Personal Carrier.
