Looks like the entry should be split into GDF-001/Super Fledermaus with a seventies IOC and GDF-003/Skyguard in 1997. The 2021 upgrade is allegedly to 005 standard, so that's the Gun King sight unit and laser. Sort of funny that they didn't just buy 005s in 1997, they were over ten years old by then!
