Looks to me like an STZ-5. The left cab door might be open, making it look an odd shape.

Maybe a Voroshilovets?

Also, the canopy over the back is hiding that part, which isn't helpful.

Thanks but not Voroshilovets as not enough wheel and too many wheels for an STZ-5...

It’s a Ya-12. Definitely so.

Yes YA-12. The one in the OP photo is a late model one; they removed the wooden side bins on the later ones, which is why the track guard looks different.

It's a thankless service I provide - providing continually incorrect answers to these sorts of things - but a necessary one, ensuring that everyone else feels good about themselves.
