        My Encyclopedia of Tanks and Armored Fighting Vehicles has this to say 
in the AMX 10RC.

Armament: 1 105mm gun, two 7.62mm MG's
Armor: Not Released (Almost none of the AMX series were.)
Crew: 4
Dimensions: Length 9.15m, Width 2.95m, Height 2.66m
Weight: 15,880kg

        Other French vehicles serving in similar capacites and made in the same 
era have armor right around 12mm thick. The book also mentions it 
sported upgraded armor for the Gulf War.

Aahz.
