Another mystery:

Somebody on Flickr think this could be an Henschel 33... Maybe it's not such a crazy idea.

Looks like the Beverly Hillbillies' "second car".

Hi Massimo
I had this same picture from a few years back labeled as Mercedes 3000,I don't know why.
So I contacted a Dutch friend who is a real authority on Mercedes.
H said it is indeed a Mercedes from the L3000 group
The wooden cabine is probably not quite original.And without having a look at the engine it cannot be say for sure wich version it is. It could be a 3000 or a 2750 or 2600 or 2500.
These all look the same and only difference is the engine and the loading capaticity.
Hopes this help.

This is an interesting one, while its soviet heritage is clear, it's something unique to Bulgaria:

Damn, Walter beat me to it.
But I'll add the distinctive spoked wheels, the embossed star, tall filler cap and the line of six bolts on the upper and the five on the lower side of the radiator as identifying features of the Henschel.

Yes Walter, you are right! Laughing

Only problem is that a Henschel 33 has a double rear axle Smile

Not strictly a vehicle, but it has wheels!

Another "BAT", this time with a crane:

I could use one of this in winter:

Walter pointed out that this beast is often called "BAT-M", I am reporting it as "BAT-1" since that's the name used by the Museum. Online I have seen both, but "BAT-M" seems to prevail. Any feedback?

I'll stick that picture onto "Landships" forum, someone will ID it in about 5 seconds!

Indeed they reacted pretty quickly, but the proposed id is wrong. This isn't a 7.7 cm FK 16

In the case you mentioned, they used the entire loader's hatch from the T-54/55, complete with mount.

Normally they just reversed the loaders hatch and fitted the Dshk on a pintle mount in front of it - have you seen some with the t54/55 loaders hatch fitted or the version with the raised hatch and the smaller MG mount?
