Introducing the Chaco carrier

[nuyt]

We have seen the Surabaya Tankette, now let's hear it for the Chaco carrier.

The remains of some sort of Vickers tracked tractor can be found in a prestigious Paraguayan Museum.

It supposedly served during the Great Chaco War in the 1930s. Is it a hoax and are we acutally looking at the running gear of a Universal Carrier?

Or is this some long forgotten commercial Vickers product, only sold to South America (and boy, these guys sold a LOT during the Chaco War!).

I have posted the pictures on The Overvalwagen Forum:

Enjoy it and if possible, help ID the poor fellow!
