MR Modelbau released a comprehensive M113 stowage set designed for AFV Club kit. A plus is wire fence which is also available as a separate item.
MR-35619 - Stowage and personal gear M113A1 US Army Vietnam No.1

The stowage set is designed for the M113A1 kit from AFV Club and features some typical stowage and equipment parts, but contains also an improvised floor protection for the fighting compartment made from sand filled ammunition boxes, also stowage for the fighting compartment of the M113A1.

The set contains exactly reproduced US boxes and cans as “Marmite” isolated food containers, 5 Gal. water dispensers and the in Vietnam with US forces often seen surplus watertight 20mm ammunition containers of US Navy. As an extra feature the MR Models product contains a piece of Polyester mesh to simulate the RPG fence which was often carried on the M113 for night bivouac. The included mesh has for 1/35 scale realistic square openings of 1.1mm by a rope diameter of 0.13mm, the looking through is about 99%. This means that a model will not disappear in a diorama after a fence of this material.

MR-35623 - Polyester- mesh material „wire fence“

Black Polyester mesh material for universal use with square openings of 1.1 x 1.1mm, rope diameter 0.13mm. Can be used for all kinds of wire fences, but also for RPG screens as common in Korean and Vietnam War and protective mesh covers for driving lamps, horns, ventilators and so on. The very thin rope diameter gives enhanced visibility, model details do not disappear behind a thick mesh.

The wire fence looks reminiscent of those bits you used to get in Tamiya kits for doing the mesh screens on German armoured cars or the Sdkfz 7/1.
