Kudos for spotting the prime mover as a "6"! :up:

How could you tell?

Hello Dave :D; above all I haven't expertise on this subject, so it can go wrong but... I think is a "6" due to its short and straight mudguard (looking from the rear, especially in the second picture). Secondly because the troop goes behind the driver and in the end the ammunition locker. However it can fail ha, ha ..........All the best. Raúl M 8).

Hello to all :D; something more..................

Artillery in action - Gebirgsgeschütz 36 in the Caucasus!

The 7.5 cm GebG 36 was designed by Rheinmetall to meet an Army requirement for a 7.5 cm howitzer to serve in the mountain divisions (Gebirgs Divisionen) and replace the World War I-era mountain guns still in service like the Austro-Hungarian 7.5 cm Gebirgskanone 15. Production began in 1938.
