I am looking for a photo of the SdKfz 251/4 transporter towing the 12CM sGrW42 mortar. Maybe some of you have such photos?

'After the battle' photo taken by Red Army cameraman over German positions. What model of mortar is this? Soviet PM-38/41 used by Wehrmacht or German 12 cm Granatwerfer 42, any chance to ID it?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Alexander

Twin 12 cm mortar 42 on m. SPW / Sd.Kfz. 251
"Probably in 1945, this remarkable Yugoslav conversion of a half-tracked armoured personnel carrier Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.D was created within the 1st Tank Brigade of the National Liberation Army. The captured machine was probably modified in the shipyards in liberated Sibenik. The modification of the classic armoured personnel carrier consisted in the lafetation of a pair of linked German Granatwerfer 42 mortars of 120 mm calibre. To allow this mortar set to turn, parts of the side armour had to be cut out. The cut-outs were rounded in shape. The crew was to consist of a commander, a driver and four men as mortar operators. The armament was to be supplemented by German machine guns and the crew's personal weapons. The machine, which was probably built in one piece only, fought in the area of Knin and Mostar. If the vehicle survived the final battles of World War II, it probably served out its life in the post-war Yugoslav army."
