Don't forget the Vickers light tank wheels are wider than a Carrier to.

Yes the Vickers light tank had wider wheels than a English carrier.
But Looking at the fourth pic of Radeks second post these wheels look to have a strenghthening rib in the centre of the spoke on both sides of the wheel, while the Vickers light tank have a single large strenghthening rib on the rear side of each spoke(same as a English carrier wheel).
Im pretty sure these wheels are not vickers light tank unless there was another style of wheel that I havent seen yet.
maybe a better photo of both sides of the wheel can confirm my belief.

Im only guessing now that the could be off a T37 or T60 but im no way an expert of soviet armour.
