Enormous quantities of Iraqi equipment was captured after the 1991 Gulf War, ranging from helmets to artillery to tanks like this T-72. They were gathered from the battlefields of Kuwait and Iraq and brought to Enemy Equipment Collection Points. Some were then brought back to the UK for study or as a trophy. A number of The Tank Museum’s vehicles were acquired in this way.

Were they all from Russia or did some come from other countries or buyer? And did the Iraqis ever have any indigenous "custom" fittings or equipment on their tanks?

Hi Rusty, most likely not. The Museum's has different damage to the front track guards. The probability is tiny given the number captured. The one on display is East German, although it’s a pretty similar T-72M model.

T-72s came from the Soviet Union and Poland. The Iraqis planned to manufacture their own, but sources differ on whether they actually did. If they did, there were very few produced before the war.
