Edit: after further looking it’s not an Opel the window and the door frame are biger than the Opel.

Then its most likely a German produced Ford Truck. The shape also looks fitting.

I completely forgot about this topic so let’s start.

The first on is Bedford OY the gun is Madsen 20 mm cannon or orlikon 20mm

2.and 3.Idk what i am looking for there

4.is 20mm Scotti anti-aircraft gun on a Sd.Kfz but now what type exactly.

5.same gun as 4.

6.and 7.DShk on a Ford Barn.

8.Dodge WC series can’t tell what the gun is.

9.Büssing-NAG Burglöwe can’t tell what the gun is.

10.That’s a Zis-6 37mm the truck might be an Opel plitz or Ford or even a Mercedes-Benz.

First is just Sd. Kfz. 10/4 with some kind of 20mm gun
2.and 3. Is just DShk

Thanks to @Spr4yz , it could allready have been closed in to be possibly a MAN-Saurer 1915 with Fahrpanzer 5 cm Gun.

Germans despite over-engineering everything also are the equivalent of warhammer 40k Orks on pharmacy grade meth…
got a vehicle but no gun? strap a gun to it…
capture a enemy tank with a weak gun or broken gun? screw dragging around and deploying that trailer hauled anti-tank cannon, strap it to the top of the enemy tank and drive me to the enemy, it doesn’t matter that we cant read the the manual or gauges in a different language…
find a bigger gun than whats fixed to their vehicle? strap the bigger gun to it…

Overall known, however i cant find any info on the Gun, most importantly the velocity, otherwise it would use the standart 5,7 cm Ammo produced by germany.

It could also be a 7,1 cm Flak L/30, tho on that gun i found nothing of. No data no info on ammo available.

After long search i came to the conclusion that the 5,7 cm is guesswork of some person for a book.
And 7,1 cm is 7,7 cm Missread and then copied over, because there simply are no written down proofs of a 5,7 cm Flak, pictures with the ammo show it too big and there is no information even from other sources (Notes on German Shells 1918) that a ,7,1 cm Caliber was ever encountered.

I love the Portée one! Even better is that in the last photo we see that it can also use an MG. It may be a small thing but it’s so helpful to be able to spray down bushes and fences to get better lines of sight or not lose speed when driving through where they stood.

On the 3rd picture, i dont think that its a 7,7 cm gun, because the barrle looks too thick and the band at the end of the barrle is missing, do you know what gun that could be?

7,62 cm Flak L/30 on Truck.
