Here's an interesting creature.. apparently the one and only of them actually fought in June 1940 just before the surrender.

Damned varmints get bigger and bolder every year...
Not gonna be much garden left after a few shots from that thing...
I think I’ll stick with the dogs and 12 gauge.
British Gun Carrier Mk I.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_Carrier_Mark_I
Based upon the Tank Mk 1 and carrying a 60lbr (5"/127mm), most of the time they were used to carry supplies. The gun was supposed to be dismounted, though it could be fired from the Carrier.
Not the equivalent of a StuG, more a cross between a Wespe and a Portee.

Not an assault gun you might want to meet......none apparently left the testing grounds for combat duty, however.

Odd. That's usually a cookie issue with the target site, and I have viewed the post on multiple machines with multiple browsers, and so have viewed it without access to the cookies. Anyway, I have now uploaded the image instead.
Just after posting, I right clicked on the "[ IMG ]" and used "Show Image" which worked and showed the image as a page. I have a fair number of sites blocked by my firewall and that may have screwed around with something or links to something on that site, sorry. I can see the image on this page fine now, thanks.
Other than that image and copies, I can find no solid match. However a Wiki page on Hornsby (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hornsby_&_Sons) shows 2 machines with an almost identical suspension. The WW1 rival tracked tractor manufacturer Holt used a different suspension, so I am inclined to believe it's a Hornsby, apparently very few of which were manufactured.
