Japanese troops during the battle for Shanghai, China, 1937. Notice (what I think is) a Type 11 being used by the prone soldier.

Here’s some more photos of that same street corner (probably North Sichuan Rd) taken in 1932 and 1937

And I believe that car is a Type 2587 Dowa. Based on the Vickers Crossley

Beretta and a bunch of G43 ZFs, from the Hermann Göring Division as far as I know.

Quite possible. This is the 2nd Ukrainian Front in Hungary on March 27, 1945.

Looks like a 3rd ID patch on the guy to the right. Also, what kind of hakftrack was that? A sdkfz 7?

No idea really, descriptions from NARA can be quite lacking in terms of further details.

That is a good question.  I don't think it was a tracked vehicle; the rear wheels look far too thick for track road wheels.  It also looks like it has a cabin at the front, so it looks like it was some kind of truck or tractor.  Those rear wheels look very odd...they look really wide for a single wheel, but I can't see any gap that would suggest them being double-wheels.
