Just saw this on Missing-Lynx, maybe for anyone who feels like more of a challenge for this group build:

These are American M2 or M3 halftracks (it’s very hard to tell) that have had the cab cut down and the rear compartment removed and replaced by a lorry-style load bed. The louvres over the radiators are also gone and replaced by some simple bars and additional cooling air vents have been added to the sides of the bonnet.
If you think the troops are wearing German helmets and the guns are German too, then you would be right, because these are Finnish vehicles (and troops and guns) in 1949. I’m guessing the got the vehicles from the USSR, or maybe bought on the international surplus market?
