It is definitely not a tank? May be a modified armoured tractor. - IMO.

By the looks of it I would say it is a Putilov-Garford Armoured Car. Built in Russia in 1914-15, based on the American Garford 68/69 5-ton lorry. It was armed with a 76.2mm gun and three Maxim machine-guns. They remained in service into the late 1920s with some being modified as railway patrol vehicles.

Sourse: Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of World War Two; S Zaloga and J Grandsen.

It looks similat to some of the early canadin armored trucks or it could be based on the white truck chassis. These were big for military export. They would later be modified for special needs based on where they ended up.
