"The photo is that of 1940's WW2 snow tractor first developed by Canadian
manufacturer Bombardier as a prototype contender for Operation Plough. The
US Studebaker T15/M29 Weasel eventually won out. A development of the
Bombardier was designed to mount a 40 mm Bofors and another version had a
Jeep body mounted on the Bombardier tracked base. They were of limited
production and have not seen any specific model designation."
