My guess is that the photographs show _A_ MkIII Panzer; not necessarily
_THE_ MkIII Panzer, as the text states that the tank advertised sports some
sort of replica machine-gun to replace the destroyed original, yet none is
visible in any of the pictures. Also, there's what appears to be a 17 pdr.
in the background, leading me to believe that the vendor just snapped a pic
of some Mk. III during one of his visits to a museum somewhere, and decided
to use them to indicate what the tank in question *could* look like given
enough dollars and TLC.
I also harbour my doubts about the viability of any enterprise originating
in the Ukraine - Georgia phone numbers notwithstanding - so caveat emptor.
