Utility Tractor 1932 Personnel Carrier
Two identical photographs (apart from the cropping), the second captioned 1934 Belgium Familleureux. The sides seem to hinge and drop down to provide leg rests for the passengers who are carried on the two sides. This vehicle was used by the Dutch Army to tow a 47mm anti tank gun, the crew riding on the tractor.
