Elle me fait penser à une que j'avais en Matchbox (ou Lesney).

Is 'Marion' an American make?

(I was wondering: couldn't this be some machine left behind by Anglo-American troops? The action is happening in Provence, not long after the war.)

To specialists: could this be a Priestman excavator?

Or a Ruston-Bucyrus?

2 simple fancts

- cabin on the lkeft side

- very distinct chassi, 5 wheels and big gap between 2nd and 3rd

so far I didn't find any with that chassis

Curved metal shape of cabin doesn't seem to fit with anything British pre 1951.

This German Menck & Hambrock,
/vehicle_364116-Menck-and-Hambrock-M60.html
was a bit close, no?
Not the same but maybe some other model of this make?

would still devastated France really buy something german by 1950 ??? or you mean perhaps some pre WW2 leftover ?

the KEY here is the track chassis 5 wheels and a big gap between 2nd and 3rd

Nothing British from this time has a rounded rear to cab like this has ( see lightened pics) Could it be American?
Crawler wheels still look German to me .

among a american products who had a curbed roof at rear and cabin on the elft side

- Browning
/vehicle.php?id=539940


- old LORAIN , I thought this is very likely , problem never saw one with such track chassis

curbed edge could be an early french one like this Pinguely :think:

SOLVED !!!!!!!

finally nailed this bit*h pelle Monsieur Didier F

looks like a PINGUELY VH 230 !!!

look at shape and track chassis , looks like 5 wheels and very distinct barely visible big gap between 2nd and 3rd wheel !!

also curbed edge on the upper right side , was not common back then
