got a pic?

There were a few, both the US (M3) and german had their own, plus probably more

The m3 was a bit like a land rover, as in you can bolt anything onto it and change its use

But these are the main two that spring to mind

I know the german one was used in various guises including armoured versions

Definately not the White US half track or the one in the B/W picture...kind of like a smaller version of the German one in the top picture but with less wheels in the track..they were not overlayed as much German armour were...
