There were 9 build of this vehicle all were send to north Africa the DAK. From those 9 vehicles just one did survive and was taken by the British / Australian army. They presented this vehicle in Cairo and from most sources this was vehicle number 7.Now a friend says that he believe that the vehicle taken by the 8th army was the number 4.The Diana is the model from Bronco, and the Decal & Colour guide says it is the number 7I have also a booklet Super Outlines “ Sd Kfz 6. 5ton Medium Halftrack and they also describe the number 7 as being taken by the British.And most pictures found on the WWW also are showing the number 7 with British or Australian military.Has one of the forum members any knowledge on this, was it number 4 or 7 .Gruss

The British captured the Sd.Kfz.6/3 with numberplate WH 276 716. There are some fotos of this particular vehicle. And it has the number 7. Look right next to the left elbow of the british officer
