Carrier/ Tankette I.D.

[sapper740]

I've had this picture sitting on my hard drive for some time now with a mind to eventually I.D.ing it. I've considered all the Vickers light tanks, but none resemble it. The Marmon-Herrington T-14/16 series of light tanks comes closest, coupled with the fact that this picture was taken in Ft. Benning lends credence to that conclusion. However, the one picture I have of the T-16 light tank shows some small differences in the track pads and a single towing eye up front. Marmon-Herrington built 240 units for export to China and the Dutch East Indies as the CTLS-4TAY and CTLS-4TAC. They weren't delivered as the Japanese overran these countries. The U.S. Army reluctantly used them in Alaska and other remote areas, some were exported to Iran, and the U.S.M.C. bought a few for trials.
Any thoughts?

Methinks Italian WW2 (early WW2)

Hi

It's an Italian CV-33 tankette. There were quite a few versions of it, even a bridge layer! They were used by a few other countries in addition to Italy.

Thank you both gentlemen! Your tips led me to the CV 35, (Carro Veloce 1935) a later and improved version of the CV 33.

I had been meaning to ID the damaged vehicles in this picture as well. Thanks for saving me the trouble




They were obviously no match for a Norton.
