Well he did acquiesce to a "Look it up yourself ya lazy bugger" take at least once within the thread!Even though I called it (see post 1190) and Mr. Weir hadn't heard of it, please continue to ask your AFV questions to Paul as I'll concede he still has a little more subject knowledge than I. This is his thread after all.

Dusty, with shorts.
Israel some time, probably 1948.
RHD, so some sort of ex British truck converted to an AC.
Edit: Butterfly AC????
Edit2: Why is the guy up top doing a Nazi salute in Israel????

you got it Haganah Butterfly AC, War of 1948, second phase - so named because of their distinctive roof -window vents in every one of them - all were hand-made by the Haganah.
the MG MA on these is a ZB 37 in a fixed forward mount with elevation adjustment only, horizontal travel was limited to +/- 4 degrees.

Not so much what, as who and where.
This Gun was captured by Canadian troops
Who was it captured from, and where? Bonus points for year.

Designations, people, designations - what is this - and not the "T" number, this guy was actually made. Bonus if you know how many of each model were accepted into service
. Yep it was at Aberdeen for a time.Not quite, it was a purpose built design

Correct.
I had looked at it last year, and drew a blank, as it didn't fit with my preconceptions. (There was no signage at the time.)
Note the muzzle brake, for example.
Not from Korea, but good guess Andy. Try Europe.

This looks like a modernised/ upgraded version of the Zis-3, used by Yugoslavian army. My guess is that this weapon could have been captured by the Canadian contingent of U.N. peacekeepers from Serbian forces during the Kosovo mission of the late 1990's-early 2000's.

Give the man a glass of rakia!
Plaque puts the capture in 1993, where I couldn't say exactly.
