    I believe it's a Fiat 2800 also known as Camionetta CVP4, the design was obviously strongly inspired by the "carriers", you can actually seen the front end of a war booty carrier dehind the mock up.

    You were on the wright tracks (no pun intended) before yes indeed it is the Fiat Cingoletta 2800, It was a obvious copy of the British universal carrier but bore more ressemblance to the American version the US T-16, It mounted a 8mm MG and with a load of 1 ton could still reach 60 Kph,

    Sorry spotter nearly but not quite there

    Your go TOS

    It is very early but not Italian or French

    HINT: AFAIK it's the first tank from it's country with a 360 degs revolving turret.

    Doesn't look much like it in my opinion but I'm going to guess the Neubaufahrzeug.

    Much smaller than the Neubaufahrzeug, and I already said it's not German, and not US.

    HINT2: that pic is seen from the rear, the tank is a turretted rhomboid that was not selected for mass production.

    Well the British had a fetish for rhomboid's, so are we English?

    Mark VIII?

    Looks like it, weren't many produced, and it isn't US or German.

    AFAIK the mark VIII never had a turret, but you are getting closer.
    BIG HINT: The following model, that did away with the rhomboid configuration, was mass produced.
