Concerning East German vehicles, I also came across once two IFA trucks with airtight boxes at the back. They had the DDR emblem on the doors wiped out by hand and they were part of a team for protection against biological warfare.

OK guys, thanks to the old good fellow modeler Triandafillos Metsovitis and his reply at the http://www.modelclub.gr/ we have an answer :D

the two BMPs on the Rgss were displayed at the DEFENDORY 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defendory) by some Hungarian company
the Greek camo scheme was a marketing trick as they intended to sell their upgrade kit for the Greek BMPs ;)
