I think it was featured in one of the UK or French MV magazines some months ago and I think the restro was finished in the meantime
Found the article. It was in "Vehicules Militaires magazine" no. 63 and shows several pics of the restoration by the Weald foundation (former Sdkfz foundation). The article does mention it was recovered from Holland by Farley Mowat and as far as I am able to decipher it was found intact at an Army base near Amsterdam. Article is written by John Blackman, so might have been published in a British mag as well.

(sounds like they refitted an original Maybach?)

Default Petawawa Panther
Swiped from a conversation on George Bradford's AFV News site. My naming technique puts the date as both 1989 and 1991. One is wrong. The story line is a US jumper was on an exchange leap and when he landed he was perplexed by the sight of oddly familiar armour. He had a small camera and snapped two pictures. One has already been posted.

Short article on the Weald Foundation’s StuG, acknowledging the fact it is the one captured by Farley Mowat:
