Is it a Japanese tank or something?

I think it's the hull of a Medium Type 89B I-Go Otsu.

no, I think it is another vehicle. It doesn't look like a Type 89B I-Go Otsu hull.

I'd say it's a Type 94 Te-Ke Tankette hull, not 100% sure though.

It is rather a Type 97 Te-Ke hull. It seemed to be bigger on the photo, so I didn't have a look to the Japanese tankettes, but for sure we have an answer now. Thanks for the help !!

except that it is a Type 97, and not a Type 94.

opps, I was going off the 'Te Ke' name, forgot that it was a Type 97.

The hull lines seem to match. Especially the drivers 'doghouse'.

Thanks for the correction. My limited knowledge on Japanese vehicles only includes the Type 95 & Type 97 as these are the ones I have tinkered with a little bit.

I'll go with that.
There's Ross Rockstad's restoration project here.
