Cletrac M2 in 1943

Update: this looked like a modified MB to me at first, but smarter folks than I straightened me out!

Kees Heids spotted this ‘tracked jeep’ in a Frontline segment on WWII. It looks different from the O'Laughlin.

You can see the jeep between timestamps 11:55 - 11:58. It appears only for a brief couple of seconds.

Here's the pic:

Here's the video:

Childhood memories that you never forget, cool. I still have 2 of those 1/43 scale WW2 Jeep models made by Monogram. Put them together back in the early 60's.

Vehicle is probably in an English barn with a "ran when parked" sign.

I'm gonna agree with Matt that it is a Cletrac M2 high speed tug https://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m2_hst.php https://agriculturaltrainee.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/s-e-davis/043-1/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/sarge_schultz/18317258172/in/photostream/ And in a Russian museum: https://www.argunners.com/visiting-military-technical-museum-ivanovskoye/ Plus scale models: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/wow-a-1-32nd-cletrac-t210424.html
