The P2Y-3 Ranger was identical to the P2Y-2 Ranger, or should I say the otherway around. As mentioned, the P2Y-3 run was completed BEFORE the P2Y-1s were converted to the P2Y-2s. In layout and performance, the P2Y-2s and P2Y-3 were identical, except the P2Y-3s were contructed complete, where the P2Y-2s were conversion kits of P2Y-1s.
