I had recalled seeing that photo before and "Turtle" came to mind but like others thought it was a European vehicle.  However googling only brought up the Czech "Turtle" until you provided further hints.

You nailed that one, Blackadder! Congrats and I yield the floor!  :)  (Note to self: next time I do this, no hints... ;))
 
M40 155mm Gun Carriage? I remember seeing one in footage from Korea. Looks like an M4 chassis, and I was wondering why the damage on the door, I suppose the back of a 155mm might cause that damage with ejecting shells.
 
It's not my turn, but Smitty's not been around so I will keep the momentum going with this easy one (the obvious answer is not good enough).  What is this & what was it previously?

Disregard this answer I think CSA 105 got it.

More specifically, the REV spiral two of development.  It is modified from a Canadian Engineer M113.  The first development did not have the dozer blade (probably as per your link).  More pictures attached.

The ARISGATOR amphibious APC consists of a marine kit installed on the M113 APC.  Italy.

ARISGATOR M113 with amphibious kit.  ARIS is based in Torino, Italy and the vehicle kit is in service with the Italian army.

So, that would make it and AmphiGAVIN?

Or a GAVINGATOR?
