That is a very VERY early version of a panzer. I beleive even before the panzer 1. If not it is the panzer 1 from the back of the tank. I cant really see the guns on the front of it because the pics are bad. But if this is not a panzer 1, then please, SOMEONE CORRECT ME!

I beleive it is a Panzer 1, but to me it looks like it is carrying a demolition charge on the supports at the back. I assume that the frame swings forward and then they drop the charge near their target, just never seen one or even heard of a P1 Demolition tank before

No expert here but I think it may be a Ladungsleger I.
