I would like to suggest the Morris CDSW 6x4 Armored Truck captured and armed by the German Army with a 15mm Mg 151 Drilling Lafette M 151 B/D. This would be the light AT and AA platform along its other german armed Morris CDSW mit 4,7 cm Pak 35/36(ö) Böhler, creating an interesting Duo.
The German army never really had enove vehicles to fill its gaps, as such many captured vehicles, tanks, trucks and other equipment were used as is and/or modified to be better and/or fit a new roll.
Such as these Morris CDSW 6x4 armored trucks created by/for the British army first in 1935 made upon the Morris C-Type, it was a dedicated 6x4 Truck to pull Artillery and AA guns, with ammo and spare parts as well as crew, or in a normal Truck configuration. It also existed in an armored varian.
Intendet to pull the 18 Lbs, 25 lbs as well as 4,5 Inch Howitzers and the 40mm Bofors AA gun, it was powered by a 6 cylinder Benzin engine with 70 Hp and overall looked similar to its little brother Morris CS8 (mit 7,5 cm Le.I.G. 18 L/12) also used by the german army.
Cince AA Vehicles, against low flying targets were allways needed, often captured equipment such as this were easily converted, by simply placing the AA gun Unit on the open space, itself also equipped with an armored shield and shoulder stabilized, it was a usefull low Air defence as well as good against light armored vehicles and open infantry, duo to good ballistics, penetration and fire rate of the 3 guns combined.
In game it would offer another of the well liked Mg 151 Drillings, as well as create a duo with the same vehicle armed instead with a 4,7 cm Pak Böhler. (In a other Suggestion)
