Help identifying this turret.

[Obie303]

I was at a WW2 re-enactment and this turret was in one of the shops being restored.  I didn't recognize it and took a few shots to post here.  Can anyone identify this turret?




Thanks,
Obie

This troop transport was at the event.  It was recently restored in 2013.  Fun day.

My guess is an M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage turret that's been modified with a piece on top with vision ports so the crew can see without sticking their heads up.

The paint is original (so I was told).  It's grey.  Wouldn't it be a German vehicle?  (Excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong.)

Some kind of t34 ?

I think I'd go with a WWII LVT:

Does the turret have a roof on it?

Not a WW2 LVT.
