    They're Renault UEs that apparently where converted into security vehicles by the Germans and are here in use by Danish resistance forces. I've seen some similar version that was also a result of German re-purposing, but this one is new and interesting to me.

    Yep. Intentional trick there.

    I didn't realize the Germans used wheeled transporters at all until looking it up, and even then it doesn't seem they were very prevalent at all. Biggest vehicle on one I saw in my quick search was a Panzer IV bridgelayer.

    Top is AMX-D, or AMX-13 ARV Bottom made me think of a Hungarian Csaba, but both parties of people in the pic and your posting of all things Dutch leads me to it being an Alvis-Straussler AC3D armored car.

    Darn, I skipped over that series cause I was stuck with the idea that the thing only had 2 axles. What I see now is an outrigger post behind the first set of wheels looks right now. I figured the white paint job was UN related. Something new

    YA-5442 or another in the series. That's my final guess, and I'm assuming that details on this thing are hidden in a book somewhere.

    Image link is kaputt

    YA-314? The doubled wheels in back and that stepping bar don't seem right.
  12. Scolopax
    No leads, no. You implied it was British, correct? There doesn't seem to be any unusual items or attachments, so I'm going with either the troop carrier version or a mortar carrier again. A YA-4442 or something with a weird armored cab?

    I have no clue on the wheel-cum bike thing. Immediate response is T-80UK, but there seems to be only 4 smoke dischargers per side. I never really got what a -UA is. Top should be a K-90, a fun looking little tank. Bottom appears to be an IT-1 turret on something other than a T-62 hull. I'm guessing Obj. 140, but the road wheel spacing is off.

    This is the one. I remember the cutaway Sherman was on the jacket.

    I swear that this crazy bike thing was in this same book too. I just can't recall the title or author(s). It was basically a history of tracked and armored vehicles from ancient times to about the 60s. Publication date was probably in the early 70s, but that's just an approximate guess. I'm still trying to see if I can find anything about it online. These illustrations are found in it, but I do not recall them being in color.

    This one is bugging me because I know I had a book with this thing in it. Obviously an interwar design, but I forget who was behind it.

    Image link is broken for me.

    It's in a museum though instead of space.

    Yep, although I guess CTLS would be the better name here over the US army designation, given that the above vehicles are in Dutch service.
  22. Scolopax
    It's American-made, but not an M-series tank.
  23. Scolopax
    The only rational thought I have for this one is that it's meant to lift the bucket up so they can fire over walls. The FSA or ISIS (can't remember which) at least made a version with an automated turret instead of a pair soldiers.
