Bedford/Morris/CMP (gepanzerte)- identifikácia rôznych prestavieb

poľno-továrenská prestavba
A long time ago, photos of different, though very similar in basis, conversions of Bedford trucks of different versions (OX, MW, OY) to armored vehicles appeared on the net. These are the use of captured vehicles from 1940-41 (France, Greece). The machines in the photos are equipped with a variety of weapons ranging from the MG 34 (Flakzwillingslafette 36) anti-aircraft machine-gun sets, to the Italian Scotti-Isotta Fraschini anti-aircraft gun mod. 41 of 20 mm calibre to the ex-Austrian 47 mm Böhler anti-tank gun (Italian license Cannone da 47/32 with recoil brake ?). The vehicles probably served mainly for transporting and supporting infantry. Considering the number of vehicles thus modified, it looks like a possible factory conversion or small series field conversion. Some of the machines were equipped with a radio station intended for higher commanders.
The vehicles appear on various battlefields (Italy, Kuron, Berlin).

Does anyone have any additional information ?

Diskuse

the assembly is called "zwillingslafette 36" and was usually carried on a single-axle trailer (for example, behind horses), was used both for firing on aircraft and against ground targets.
As for the cars, they don't seem very the same to me, they have differently made rear armor (similar to SdKfz 251 C and D), maybe not even two have the same fenders (one even has them as if for two axles or a belt) it just looks like something small series on the chassis truck. A vehicle with a straight stern also has a different shape of the emblem than the others. rather it has all the features of a small series (in no photo I saw there were more than 5 vehicles) made somewhere in repair shops from the remains of other vehicles (perhaps just after SdKfz 251) according to the photos it seems that even the front of the vehicles are not the same (including their connection ) A vehicle with a "long fender" is very different from the rest and basically does not look much like the rest. By the way, Bedford 15cwt cars with a load capacity of about 800 kg do not seem very likely to me to be rebuilt in this way. It will probably be a different chassis (maybe some CMP cars with a short wheelbase)
