That´s the french AMX ELC. And as a side note for the people who are looking up on AMX ELC and find another veh. under this name someone made an error on one point and other side´s just copied it. What you are probably get shown is the ELC EVEN.
Both can be seen on this french page:

Panzerkampfwagen II mit Schwimmkörper?

Right army. Think "Engineers".

Well I can't find a photo, but it appears to have the Panzer II Ausf D/E running gear so I am going with the Pioner-Kampfwagen II / PzKpfw II ohne Aufbau

Close but the drive wheels are too small. It's a  Mineräumwagen Sd.Kfz.300 Borgward BII (aka Duck)

I was starting to lean that way.

Boys was I stumped!


Okay still your turn...

I have found that the Whermacht had the largest collection of strange vehicles ever created.

 

[Timmy!]

So.... next one please...

 

[geo]

Hmph,..... though I am out of turn, how about....

 

[Mud]

Rhodesian Mazda convoy escort vehicle, one of many improvised vehicles the Rhodesians built after arms sanctions were imposed.  The vehicle is standard civie but the armoured bin protected a gunner armed with a browning .303.  They had some really wacked vehicles out there, apparently quite effective.

 

[geo]

The bin was an armoured turrett with a browning 303 MG....

As an added incentive to the driver..... only the turrett was armoured, the remainder of the truck was not armoured in any way....

reason #357 to take the Rhodesian Army MG course instead of the Driver Wheeled course if given a choice 8)

Does that mean it's the Mk. 1 Technical? I understand many Toronto taxi drivers learned their skills on those...  ;D

 

[geo]

Naw... Rhodesia went thru the meat grinder before the term "technical" ever became popular....

If anything, this is the original real deal - Mk 0

 

[Mud]

Ok :

Ford GPA Amphibious Jeep?

Ford GPA Amphibious Jeep?

Nope. Too big. Engine in the wrong place. From the green in the uniforms and the berets I'm going to venture French or Italian or possibly Spanish. Not likely Russian. Taking a picture like that would get you shot.

I was leaning more towards South America.
