Oh that pic came from: “Kangzhan: Guide to Chinese ground forces 1937-45” the M3 half track pic came from the other book.
But for the type 88 gun, looks like I remembered wrong. Only reference I can find for it is all fixed and not self propelled.

it’s the test platform for light vehicle turrets. the new 8x8 assult vehicle’s turret is also tested on this hull.
Recoil might rip that turret ring
won’t, it’s a specially made test platform, this is his job, the big ring is used to fit different turret rings.

Does anyone have any pictures, or proof, that China used CA-10/CA-30 trucks to mount various gun platforms for Anti-Air? It seems odd that millions of these trucks were built and there isn’t a single picture of one mounting a 12.7mm or 14.5mm in any sort of mount.
Where did this picture come from?
A rare photo of Renault FT No. 24 of the Kuomintang Army
What makes this vehicle interesting is the domestically produced 37mm Manchurian cannon, which can be seen much easier in No. 24’s better known photo

Is this cannon better than the original one?
Honestly I am not entirely sure of the stats, as with many indigenous Chinese weapons during the first half of the 20th century the details are often quite sparse.
