Hi Sturm 78,

a very interesting question! The most similar pontoon to these on Your pic is for me the Finnish pontoon M 35. Here a pic of this pontoon.

Best regards

Bert

Hi Bert, I am not sure
Really, the Finnish pontoons M.35 seems very similar but the material on top of them for the platform seems very different....
Here, an image fom SA-Kuva archive for comparing

On the other hand, thank you for your image. I had never seen the Finnish M.35 ponoon on his transport position

Regards

Hi Sturm 78,

of course, You are right. The material on top of the pontoons for the platform is not the Finnish bridge building material M 35. I think that´s not a special material, but normal beams and planks out of wood.

Best regards

Bert
