Yep, the camouflage smocks, boots, and personal equipment, along with the towed gun and vehicles, and the colour of the latter, are correct for SS units in 1940.
The attachment on the front wheel may be a lever to engage / disengage a 'free-wheeling' hub - I'd need to check on the type to see if it was part time four-wheel drive.

A picture taken from the Bundesarchiv. This is a picture taken during the training of a German Shepherd (of which I own and adore) by a Waffen-SS soldier. In Norway, either 1940 or 1944.

Leutnant · May 16, 2019

Taken from Bundesarchiv, once again. This is in a SS training area in Poland, presumably in the part for the horse/cavalry training. There is a collection of documents of this SS training area, including a tiny air field and everything. Circa 1940 or 1944.

Good ones.
Post # 14,002 - the field cap would suggest 1944.

Shouldn't that be "For Stalin... HUZZAH!!!"?

It is in French. "Ouah! Ouah !" can be translated as Woof, woof! or Wow!. So it is the sound of barking of a dog or the one of admiration. IMHO it is the barking in the case.
