German (obviously ) MK II D tank converted to flamethower vehicle.
The MK IID used a different suspension than the other MK IIs with four large road wheels.

The "guns" on the fenders are flame projectors.

Propaganda painting from Richard Rudolph, Kameraden, oil on canvas, ca 1942.
from
Biderdienst Suddeutscher Verlag, Monaco
in
Berthold Hinz, L'arte del Nazismo, Mazzotta it ed.

But often relations between Italians and Germans during WWII were not as idyllic as shown in this painting.

Judging by the photo's I'd say something on the order of very large exercise machines.

OK, it's sorta' related to WWII, a sign in Corpus Christi Texas circa 1940
(Piggly-Wiggly is a grocery store chain in the southern U.S. for our overseas friends.)
