The T-37 was basically a copy of the French AMR's anyway and with messrs Carden and Loyd in the mix, what you are saying is, it could have been produced by almost anyone in the 1930's
But your suspicion was correct.. it is Russian.

It is the TM 'Molotov' tank dating from 1934.

So, I declare this thread, open...

I have it as a Schwerer Zugkraftwagen 18t, but there were different versions.

I know it's not a tank, but it was used to recover tanks..........

AKA the Dutch 3-man tank, built in 42 for Dutch East Indies, most of which ended up South of the border.

M4A1E5 tank. You can tell by the spaced VVSS suspension (give away is the grousers on both sides of the track). These were reworked early model M4A1s that were brought up to late war standards.
