I would like to suggest the unique one of a kind Marienwagen II armed with a (presumably) russian captured 57 mm Hotchkiss L/40 gun.
It was a test combination near the end of WW1 around 1918, along other allready made self propelled guns such as different 7,7 cm guns on the KD-1 and 8,8 cm SK L/45 on Benz Gaggenau.
It was not used and propably unmounted later on and only 1 picture exists of it in a very basic way.
Its ammo would have most certainly been stored behind the cabin in their standart wooden crates.
Created as a simple way for an mobile SP AT gun.
While it is a 5,7 cm Hotchkiss L/40 gun, germany produced and used their own ammo in their different 5,7 cm guns such as the: (Click on the name to show).
It has 550-554 m/s, -15° ti + 90° elevation with 20-25 rpm
5,7 cm Gr. (P). HE 2,75 kg 0,16 kg Fp.02 and 554 m/s
and
5,7 cm Gr. m.P (P) Saphe 3,1 kg 0,12 kg Fp.02 550m/s with 47mm/10m penetration.

Weight: around 10 ton
Top speed: 10 km/h (dam, so slow)
