Name that Vehicle

Well, this is my first thread in WW2 Talk and we're going to name a tank or armored vehicle.


What vehicle is this?




Clue: It is the most common German Half track of WW2.

(I couldn't get a good picture of this in combat!)

3rd armoured infantry company, divisional sign not immediately familiar, got distracted by this amazing site on organisation while checking (Vehicle isn't Littlefields, it's in the Czech republic. )

Edit: should add that as it's in Czecko I thought it might be a converted OT810 but I don't think so.

Checking out Divisonal Signs on Feldgrau.net

It's not a Pz Div.
Now going thru hundreds of Inf Div ones.
Anyone want to help?

Did whole lot, no luck
Did discover that 183 Inf Div had a sign similar (as in a negative of) to 3rd Brit Div.
