Few pictures, serials unknown:
Photo 1 - Retaking of US embassy in Kuwait. Helo has SATCOM antenna and AN/ALQ-144 IR jammer installed.
Photo 2 - Another pic on US embassy. Helo has FLIR, M-134 minigun in the window and AN/ALQ-144 IR jammer. Helo guided by USMC.
Photo 3 - General N. Schwarzkopf and his Delta force security detail. Helo has SATCOM antenna, FLIR, M-134 minigun in the window and AN/ALQ-144 IR jammer.
Photo 4 - General N. Schwarzkopf and his Delta force security detail. Probably different helo. It has FLIR and M240 machine gun in the window.
Photo 5 - Ultrarare picture of MH-60As or Ls DAP version armed with M-261 19-shot 70mm rocket pods.

NOTE:

These tables are not complete, as with every SpecOps unit, the information is close to nothing ...
There should be 30 MH-60As, but I was able to find only a few serials.
The MH-60L/Ks were still in test phase, the IOC was during 1992.
The exact number or serial numbers of deployed MH-60s is not known (yet).
CENTCOM narrowed the numbers to 8 MH-60s and 4 MH-47Ds.
During the 6 weeks of war, TF 3-160 conducted 57 combat missions.

NOTE FOR MODELLERS:

MH-60A/Ls were equipped with:

- FLIR mounted under the nose in the center
- HIRSS installed on engine exhausts
- M-134s miniguns in the front cabin windows
- sometimes they carried extra cabin fuel tanks (2 x 185-gal Robertson)
- DAP version had EFS pylons installed (one attachement point on each side) and carried M-261 19-shot 70mm rocket pods
- foldable squared-off tail stabiliser (like Navy Seahawks)
- some (all ?) equipped with SATCOM T-shaped antenna
