    It was actually a picture of the Prototype 91 ( second phase modification of the Prototype No.1 ), taken at the Osaka Army Arsenal.

    The tank next it looks like an M-48 / M-60 family member.
    So is it an American vehicle?
    Possibly an attempt to mount a large gun, in a more shell-resistant turret?
    (at least to trial the theory)

    I think you are on the right tracks Ricky, if I can remember correctly the original write-up I had with this mentioned Detroit!

    More shell-resistant? This thing has 'shot trap' written all over it!

    I haven't got a clue on the origins of this tank but I can't wait to hear what this is, who made it and for what purpose on this earth! :D

    There appears to be no vision blocks, no crew access...
    You'd certainly struggle to get a driver in that hull.
    Is it remote-controlled?

    It doesn't seem like the turret can move, either... :(

    Whoops, I think I meant the LVT(A)-1. I think the A-1 used the M3 turret with the 37mm gun and the A-4 used the GMC 8 open turret with the short 75mm howitzer. ANy experts out there, I'm too lazy to look.

    Is that the armoured car the Soviets gave the East Germans for 'Interior police work'?
