Yes the is a Lyod Universal Carrier but not in any configuration I have ever seen. I will have to check in a few books I have to see if I can find it.

The cannon on it looks like a french 75, and the superstructure looks like ply-wood, I wonder if it is a period mock-up or Could it be re-enactors out for a lark

I'm afraid that you are mistaken there on three points. First the vehicle was called the 10.5cm leFH16 (sf) auf Lichte Panzerkampfwagen Mk VI 736(e) and not IV. Second were isuued to the 15.(Sturmgeschütz Batterie)/AR 227 of 227 Infanterie Division. Most of this Batterie's vehicle were captured British with ammunition being carried either in a conversion of the Light Mark VI or the Bren Carriers and other Light Mark VI's were converted to Beobachtungspanzer . British trucks and cars were also used. The Batterie was destroyed in the fighting around Leningrad over the winter of 1941/42.
And lastly, that is not a Light Mark VI but a Bren Carrier and the gun is definitely the French 75mm and not the German 105 mm.

That could be it as well.

In this case always go with your gut instincts.

I first though it was a french 75 on a lyod UC but I poked about in a few books and the only thing close I could find was the 736(e).

I will have another look but Alanmccoubrey is most likely correct

Hi there,

Hmm, not 100% sure on these, but here is what I have so far;

#1 DKW SB 350 (or SB 200 hard to tell)
#2 same sort of bike, leaning against BMW 303 Kuebelwagen
#3 BMW 303 Kuebelwagen, not very common in Wehrmacht use
#4 Mercedes-Benz Lo 2750?
#5 Some sort of Krupp truck?
#6 Mercedes-Benz G3a truck, with a Mercedes-Benz 170VK parked in front of it.

Hopefully someone may know more.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve, hi Alexander,

You are right, it must be a Saurer, but I think that it is the larger model 3 CT 1 MI.

Hello,

#3 is not a BMW. It is a Hanomag 4/23 PS / Garant Kübelwagen.
