Interesting picture. The vehicle on the left would seem to be a Kleine Panzerbefehlswagen, an unarmed Company Commanders vehicle converted from a Panzer I. The one on the right has the same running gear but lacks the extended superstructure of the command tank. Indeed, I can't see a turret either so it may be a supply vehicle. Do you have any idea where and when the picture was taken?

Peter, the photo should be during may-june 1940...Thanks for the comments! Mike

Not sure, but I think this clip is one for Hans, could be a DB.
