According to this source its Thai, not Indonesian
С миру по нитке - таиландской армии ЗСУ.
Вот такая машина проехала на параде в Бангкоке в 1948 году. 37(?)-мм японское зенитное орудие установлено на шасси Доджа, ранее принадлежавшего то ли индийцам, то ли австралийцам. Установив зенитку на платформу - они сделали японское орудие мобильным…
I think you need to rethink this source that state the Dodge WC 51 with Type 96 AA gun because the deeper you look, it doesn’t look like anything near Siamese army and people.
- The soldier in back of the truck wearing signature Indonesian revolutionary fighter side cap, Siamese army did not using those style of cap even during WW2 and shortly after the war
- The people in the photo doesn’t look nearly like Siamese, even the driver look more like average Javanese guy. (If you don’t know what typical Thai look like, just think mix of Batak and Chinese)
- Your source said this is a parade in Bangkok but the people in the crowd can be seen wearing kopiah, a signature hat from Indonesia and Malaya that hardly would be found in Siam, even a woman in the background can be seen wearing Batik skirt
- your source stated that the truck come from India or Australia but if they procured/captured from them why it still has US white star Insignia? for this Insignia US truck used by KNIL usually still has the insignia retained due to rushed use by the Dutch and White star insignia also adopted by the Indonesian Independence fighter while in Siamese army those insignia would not be used (because they not the usual national marking insignia).

Alright I guess, ill include it in the list.
After further looking from the original source there’s also a reply from 2013 that mentions the image has been going round the ID forums as well, so the source is clearly disputed
yeah i think it’s better to avoid russian language forum as a source for a while especially if the topic about something not from eastern block, because even in Enlisted forum a lot of dubious thing come from russian language forum/web (The most famous one is Beta C-mag and Helical mag PPSh-41) , especially if it short, has lot of mistake and no source.
Good points there, I also wanted to add that Thai military vehicles used Thai numerals instead of Arabic numerals for their number plate, while I could see that the truck has the number 175

Infantry now coming to War Thunder, if it’s going to be like Battlefield franchise there is a chance that we might can do suggestions for Infantry small arms from Indonesia.
but that just assumption from most people’s in Forum and Reddit. if not well then it’s would just be Enlisted for modern age.
