Hi Kelvin,
sorry but I could not find the ammo data for this vehicle.
I think it should be something similar to the other 7,5 cm SFLs.
According to Panzertracts 7-2:
SdKfz 131 37 Pzgr & Sprgr
SdKfz 132 30 Pzgr & Sprgr
SdKfz 135 48 Pzgr & Sprgr
SdKfz 138 Ausf H 38 Pzgr & Sprgr
SdKfz 138 Ausf M 38 Pzgr & Sprgr
SdKfz 139 30 Pzgr & Sprgr

Regards
Armin

Hello, Armin, thank for your addition. The information for 7.5cm Pak upon Somua MCG Chassis is rare.
