It is a Public Archives of Canada photograph and the troops are Canadians, but the guns were Russian and repurposed by the Germans.
I tried to make a Then and Now picture of this one a few years ago. The location is a quarry on the N158 from Caen to Falaise, Normandy. The quarry is still in use with fences and guards, so taking a comparison picture was a no-go, sadly.

Jordan, it looks like a Standard light utility ('tilly') to me.

That begs the question...’What was that German Vehicle?”.
