Re: Gas chamber photo?
The linked article actually states that the photographs of trucks shown in it are unlikely to have been mobile gas chambers, since they were found after the German retreat from Poland, well after the killing centre at Chelmno had ceased operation, and in the intervening period it was most likely that all the vehicles modified to function as mobile gas chambers had been changed back into normal trucks.Yes, it is possible that an image of a mobile gas chamber:
I think that is a logical conclusion, ie by the end of the war there were no longer any mobile gas chambers in existence, they all having been either scrapped or rebuilt. The fact is that the mobile gas chamber, ie a truck modified so as to use is exhaust as a killing agent, had proved to be inefficient and highly vulnerable to breaking down. It appears that by the end of 1942 they had all been withdrawn from service.

That is not a photograph of the mansion in Chelmno. The building was a granary on the grounds of the mansion. The building still exists and houses exhibits at the museum.
This is also off topic.

Re: Gas chamber photo?
Are these any of the known pictures of the Chelmo Mansion in question? IF yes was the picture of "Gas Chamber" taken there instead?

It appears the SCHLOSS if the picture was taken there-no longer exists
