Sorry,the web is in Spanish...But the caption says that it was made at Barbastro and the lettering on the side "Grupo Construcción de Tanques de Barbastro" =Tank construction group of Barbastro

Should send this pic to the TANKS website:

http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/

Maybe someone there can ID it. Where and when was this foto taken?

It looks like a serious peice of work, not one of the ramshackle armored trucks that the militia usually cobbled together. It looks similar to the
Tanque de Juguete shown on the above website.

Call me a fool, but I see some kind of resemblance with the FT17.
