Definitely different.

The Germans captured many of these after the fall of France and the Becker workshops added a 10.5cm Howitzer to them. I wonder which aftermarket company is preparing this even now???

Never knew Vulkans made models......
Manstein: you're referring to the Becker conversions with the leFH18 10.5cm mounted to Lorraine and H39 chasses.
I'm referring the the 10.5cm leFH16 mounted on captured Vickers VI tankettes. Have a look:

I can't believe that they can squeeze 4 guys into that thing Roy.
I have always held an interest in this vehicle. To me its like the sporty roadster of the tank world. There was an upgunned version with a 15mm mg. the Indian Pattern had the commander's copola taken off and a hatch in its place. The Malta camoflage pattern is interesting, its like the Matilda that was on the isle, sand with a net like arrangement of black lines . In my stash I have the Cromwell resin version unstarted.
This vehicle saw service in France, North Africa and Greece. Ten were on Crete and of course the ones on Malta. A small group was sent to Norway but were lost in transit.
Major Becker won his Iron Cross with the spg conversion.

Need to see this one finally get produced in styrene. I have fond memories careening around the roads in the Low Countries in one of these in WW2Online. Fast little buggers that were prone to tip over on tight corners if you weren't careful!

Herr Field Marshall, those aren't Fezs, they are the original Panzer Beret (1935-40)! I do believe that those vehicles modified by Becker were used against Leningrad.
