The cab roof of these two trucks should have camouflage:

Many of those 1930-40ies trucks came in variants with solid top, and canvas-like soft top. Example:

So the cab is open from the top and this yellow one is just a tarpaulin/canvas :)
Like in Jeep Willys for example

What’s the point of this picture? The Sturmgewehr 44 ?

Sturmgewehr, Jagers (light inf), exact shot of the commander's turret in version A, sniper rifle in the hands of a second soldier and MG-42 leaning against the turret of the tank, unusual beret on the head of the tank commander (French ? :wink: ) for example
Second screenshot shows Waffen SS tanker officer for comparison

Re: MG AA -> the MG (anti-aircraft) mount holder is empty because the tank crews removed this MG as unsuitable for combat with enemy aircraft

The Black Panzer Beret seems not to be the same on the photo and on the picture ?

Are you sure it’s August, the soldiers look well dressed for the summer ?

No, definitely not - black panzer beret was in Panzerwaffe (Wehrmacht) mostly in early period of war. There was a cap with an German eagle and a skull in Waffen SS but the beret on the photo doesn't have these insignia

RE: August
This is how it was in the description of the photo, it was August 44 but it could actually be a mistake, however see the photo below - it is also the Waffen SS near Warsaw in August 44
I think it was chilly and it was raining that day

Very nice. Does anyone know how this works on the technical side? Is this a bind material/shader replacement or simply an overlay texture for a given 3D model?

I'm not an expert but it is overlay texture IMO

Thanks Gabe, it's your merit, because you mobilized me to sit down and show what can be done with some textures found on the web. :)

Yeah, looks good, Mr.T., thanks!

Still not interested in having some of your camos inside the "Community Crate" (like Kondi)? The more the merrier... :D
