The conversion seems to be different again from those found on CMP F15 trucks.

Young Ballard says they're very early CS8s with the 3 piece rims, so Dunkirk capture is likely, in fact virtually assume its always the case owing to the numbers left behind.
They have a Wehrmacht windscreen though amongst other things. I have sent the image to The Baron Paulus von Hocking, he might well be able to identify the unit, date and place.
