    Close enough! It is actually an Argentine SPG (one of several variants)-based on the chassis of the Crusader Tractor..The vehicles were fitted with an armored superstructure designed and built in Argentine arsenals. This particular variant carried a Krupp 75 mm L.30 mod. 1909 gun; the standard Argentine army field piece until replaced by the Bofors 75 mm L.40 mod. 1935.
    How does he do it??? (Asked Ricky...)Perhaps he found it on certain web-site? :p at any rate, Patrice gets another cigar! :-?

    P.S.:Do you want to see a proper photo of this AFV?

    Hello scaramouche.
    Not only the web site :) , but I have also all the French Steel Master collection from the N°1(1994)toN°67(2005).
    In the number 44 there is an article with two photos of this Crusader SP who come from the book of M. Sigal Fogliani “Blindados Argentinos de Uruguay y Paraguay.

    P.S. No more cigar,scaramouche, I prefer a good cold beer, and a proper photo of this AFV will be cool.

    OK.. Belgian Trappist Ale, Guiness, Samuel Adams ,Weiss Bier, Dinkel Acker, Tsing-Tao, or Würzburger? You may have your choice!..Here's a photo of a Crusader (7,5cm L.30 variant..) taken in 1950-note the M5 1/2 tracks and the T.16 carrier...

    Best Regards!
    P.S. Good web-site-(have not sern the magazine)-very bad book (it is actually considered a joke among serious historians...if you want further details, send me a private e-mail..

    P.S.S.: To me, this AFV has a distinctly German appearance, what do you think?....

    Yes, it reminds me of the 15cm sIG on Panzer I chassis.

    Any version of a french Chenillette.
    Polish? They had those tracked trailers. It was called "tankietka" or something like that.
