Axis Non-Armored Vehicles quiz

[Bill Murray]

Sorry, Markus.
Obviously, as I get older I forget a lot more. That is the second repost already this year and it is only February.

Please do keep it going.

Hi Markus:

You show us a Renault Juvaquatre 6 CV of 1938-1939.

Often mistaken for an Opel Kadett because of the design of the main headlamps being integrated into the sides of the motor hood.
Bill

[peeved]

Exactly,
Renault copied Kadett bodywork so closely that according to http://www.workshopoftheworld.com/nicetown/budd.html the parent firm of Kadett's bodymaker "sued for patent infringement and forced Renault to pay royalties to Ambi Budd."
Over to you,
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Thanks Markus:

Next.

So it's beute,
I saved this photo when I saw it on the eBay ages ago but the car is still unknown to me. Maybe something Czech; customized Skoda Popular?
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Czech Mate
Try another mark, Markus

Tough one,
But looks a bit like a DKW and was maybe retrofitted with motorcycle fenders for a reason: Jawa 600 Minor?
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Yes, a Jawa Minor and a bit of a rare bird at that.
Back to Finland.

Thanks Bill,
Out of the other vehicles and into Panzers. IMO this partly disassembled vehicle is a prototype with wooden mock-up upper hull. What was the main armament of the final fully armoured vehicle?
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Armour is not my field so I can only guess.
I know the chassis, so I am thinking it is one of the more rare variants.
Maybe this one.
Bill

[peeved]

You are correct in thinking of a gun calibre instead of the all MG armament normal for the Pz.I but your 15 cm is way too large; My quarter says this wood-burner probably couldn't haul that SIG 33 around.
A hint; the hull has a turret race and there's a mock-up of an early model turret from a different mark of tank barely visible in the background.
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Running out of reference materiel. I only show two versions of the Panzer 1 that have other than MG armament.
I also have never seen such a tank with a Holzgaz apparat fitted.

Last, Best Guess.
Bill

[peeved]

Well,
You're just a silly centimetre away from the answer I was looking for and I'm off to bed. Below the photo of the gas generator equipped Pz.I/Pz.III hybrid 3,7 cm gun turret crew trainer from "Beute-Kraftfahrzeuge und -Panzer der deutsche Wehrmacht" by Walter J. Spielberger.
Over to you,
Markus

[Bill Murray]

Not a good victory but I will accept due to the effort I put into the question.

Now another very rare (4 prototypes produced) vehicle for someone to think about.
