Going only by the wheels, they are the early 3-pice rim type with holes in them, as commonly found on prewar Morris Commercial CS8. I do not think that Bedford fitted these. Not conclusive evidence on the maker of the running gear, but the Germans did have a particular liking for the MCC products as well as Bedfords.
Not only, but also. . . . . . . . .
It could be the French Laffley V15 4x4, these were also taken into Wehrmacht service in quantity, armoured bodies on the 6x6 Laffley are common. The gun is on the MG-Sockel 41 mount which allows fully counterbalanced operation to the vertical.
