You are probably correct. I was quoting from the site where I found the picture & this one
http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/chemsincmbt/ch15.htm

don't know what's wrong with the link. The order/letters/numbers are perfect to the site. I bookmarked it so I can get there. ?

'Tsar' tank of c.1914

Good page here, though if I recall there's still controversy in other quarters suggesting that the machine was never actually completed, and all known photographs are of a largely wooden model:
The Russian WW1 Lebedenko (or Tsar) Tank

The combination of componants from many different sources is, I suppose, all too common in surviving vehicles. Particularly in non running examples.

Looks like it could be a model of the one you posted earlier.
check it out.
Apart from the fact that the the TM 'Molotov' tank had 3 bogies either side, I would agree with you. The T-37 and T-38 were similar.

But, it has a 60 degree hull. Late cast composite hulls are 47 degree, at least all the ones I've seen have been. This would also explain the suspension as all of the tanks that got the E5 mod were early models used mainly for training in the US. The three piece transmission cover, likewise. This is why there are several of these fairly rare E5 mod vehicles floating around today (another is at the D-Day museum in New Orleans only it has the narrow 19" tracks on it so it looks really weird.

If you look at Russian first prototypes in tank development you'll find loads of wierd models Ths one is by far the wierdest... They had a wierd plane too with an upper deck where people could stroll around like in a ship...

This little buger reminds me of something more recent... Is it Swedish by any chance?

It has an 'FV' number .
