M3 Scout Car → M3A1 Scout Car – The M3 Scout Car was a limited production (only 64) armoured vehicle that never saw service, the M3A1 Scout Car was a significant upgrade of which 20,894 were produced during WWII and saw combat service with over 30 nations. This article is about the M3A1, 100% of the information in the infobox is entirely about the M3A1, the history section contains very little information about the M3 (originally called the M2A1 Scout Car), whilst the combat history and former operators sections is 100% about the M3A1. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 03:50, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - The current title is entirely appropriate, as M3 is the base model title and the initial variant title. This is also the way most US military articles with M designations are titled. - BilCat (talk) 04:34, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose as per BilCat. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:57, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - Per BilCat, and the change to M3A1 may confuse those looking for info on the M3 Car WelpThatWorked (talk) 16:05, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

M3 Scout Car → M3 scout car – Not a proper name; commonly lowercase in sources. Per WP:MILCAPS, use lowercase after the M3 designator. Dicklyon (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose as usual, because the sources disagree with Dicklyon (even though they still insist that WP:MOS overrules sourcing). Andy Dingley (talk) 17:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- The book stats show this is another example of books starting to follow Wikipedia, rather than Wikipedia respecting sources, which have mostly used lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 21:57, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
