Well, that's what the description says:

The roadwheels seem to be taken from a ATS-59 tractor:

Maybe the owners were wrong and it's indeed based on a ATS-59 artillery tractor. I can't figure it out from the photos.

HT-125 crane on T-34 chassis. The communist army transformed a lot of the obsolete T-34s into utility tracked vehicles. Quite useful if you ask me, but these transformations resulted in a number of popular jokes about the army back then. A few other photos of such vehicles from cartula forum (mainly the black ^ white photos): www.cartula.ro/forum/t...-romanesc/

The main wheels and tracks must have been changed because that don't look like t-34 chassis

Same one as "“purple eater”, April 2010 - www.flickr.com/photos/...556801699/ Valentine – Unknown location"?

yes, it is clearly the same. The camo scheme is identical. According to Ian Hughes, it was previously displayed at the Hamilton Territorial Army base (New Zealand), and was also displayed for a moment at the Machinery and Marine company, Horotiu (New Zealand). This tank has been seen at the War and Peace show 2010 with a new paint.

At first, I thought that these were the same than the ones located at Moray Firth. But indeed these are different ones !!

Recently a new Panzer museum opened near Oksbøl, so it probably the same.

I started a thread about it a couple of weeks ago.
