I believe the York is a radar guided anti aircraft gun platform, a mobile triple A battery that is radar guided, similar to the Ruskie ZSU 24

the other one try here you might find some details

This is partially correct. The M247 SGT York was an experimental AAA system. It was not reliable and failed miserably in testing. It was never adopted for use by the US Army or any other service.

Sorry, no other pics of either one. Both are long gone as casualties to prior moves.

The SGT York AA Gun was built and tested, but not accepted. 50 test vehicles were actually built, but the program was cancelled in 1985 due to it not meeting hardly any of the design perameters and having huge cost over runs.
