Not trying to be patronizing here, don't get this the wrong way. I am going to start a new thread with an identification guide for vehicles.

not all of them actually have wheels.
BTR-50 and BTR-T are tracked
BTR is the russian abbreviation for armored personal carrier,
BMP is the abbreviation for infantry fighting vehicle.
So the characteristics of a BTR is that it is a personal carrier, which means it has less powerful armament, and a BMP is an IFV, i.e. more armor and more firepower
