Date : Sep 28,1941.

Oliver,
It looks like a Mack EXBX 18 ton 6x4 tank transporter.

Thanks again, Richard, great.
The Cab shape matches the one on the only two photos I possess [Vanderveen].
Can anybody send me some other shots of the Mack, as the "Tank named Stalin" is awaiting its undercarriage...
TIA,
Oliver.

Mack EXBX with Valentine II tank,
