ARL Char C or something like that 

Yes, the pic being of the wooden mock up after the Germans captured it.

Just enough details here for me to make a confident guess, but I'll see if anyone else wants to have a go first.

So, this is clearly a Lee or Sherman based design, as indicated by the engine, drive shaft, and roadwheels. I had originally thought it to be some earlier design for the Ram 3.7in spg, and later, possibly something related to the T53e1.  This second post of the top-down view throws that off for me, as it shows the turret having limited travese.  It still says the gun could be point up high though.

Your correct that it's related to the Ram 3.7" Evolution of that. Designed but never built.

3.7" Assault SPG

Visually yes, but in the game this thing is called "T-80".

Something related to the SU-76 I am sure. Same T-70 chassis, same superstructure, but the gun is elongated and lacks a muzzle break. 

Hmmm.

EDIT: It's a 57mm gun, so it's the SU-57. 

 

I understand now why I haven't found it on the webz. It always showed me that inferior Sukhoi bird instead.

May i presume that Warspot watermark helped in search? I should used SU-85B rear picture.

The watermark didn't help. I don't know who Warspot are. 

 

I knew from the beginning it was related to the SU-76 and remembered that there was a version with a 57mm gun, perhaps named SU-57.

 

But what finally confirmed this was a SU-57 was the fact that the link to the image contains the name. Right in the middle.

I taken this picture from Yuri Pasholok article on upgunning of Su-76M

I thought the SU-57 was a lend lease T48 gun motor carriage.

Designation of SU-57 used for both this and upgunning project alonside post war ASU-57.For example in GAZ plant documents ASU-85 refered as SU-85.

I’d say M41A1 Walker Bulldog that’s terribly vismodded into a Pzr.4 H?

Front sprocket and the driver's on the wrong side, though. Related to the Type 61?

[Lord_James]

It’s a Type 61 vismod’ed into the Panzer Vor H. I’ve seen that picture around for a while. 

[That’s Suspicious]

Ahh that’s right. I saw the front mudguards and driving lights and thought M41A1, even though the driving lights are mounted on the upper glacius plate for the Walker Bulldog.

I've heard that this Type 61 tank with appliqué spaced armour was used for anti-tank rifle grenade firing practice. 

 

[Monochromelody]

From a Japanese magazine PANZER screenshot, it says: 

This is a Type 61 tank with a sort of ad-hoc spaced armour, using for target practice in exercise. 

The armour plates surrounding the turret and side skirts make it looks like a WW2 German Panzer IV. 

The crew tried to pull out a practice round stucking in the side skirt, this round was fired from a recoilless rifle. 

According to the vegetation of the exercise range, the vehicle was painted in a 4-colour camouflage.
