Default Weasel Variations

The photo you mention has text associated with it as "...an example of the U.S. M29C Weasel fitted with a flame thrower..." It was meant to be just that, an example of an allied WWII vehicle modified for use with a flame thrower. Not specifically to be an example of a standard British vehicle used during the war with a WD number painted on the side. The flame thrower versions of the Sherman tank photos on the same page are also comperable examples.

Photo was unlabeled and part of a small batch of other WWII vehicle related photos that I acquired several years ago.

Tracks appear to be the same type we have on our M29C. We don't have the flotation tanks but the grouser blades and bands seem to be identical.
