And here is a front view:

This particular vehicle seems to be a 1924 model built by Wolseley's Japanese subsidiary, photographed at the Tokyo Motor Show; but apart from the cab wartime models must have been very similar. Also, the Blueprints.com site has a line drawing of a 3 ton 1916 Wolseley CR6 - again hard to see much difference!

Thank you for your help.
But machines with different carrying capacities may well have different sizes.
I want to create models of Japanese armored vehicles that took part in the intervention in Siberia in 1920. As far as I can tell, they were created on the basis of the Japanese clone of this Wolseley truck. I have some photos of this armored car, but any dimensions are missing. The most optimal information is the distance between the wheel axles.
Does anyone have a projection of the British Wolseley CP Type armored car?

Oh I see...   In that case there's a downloadable card model of a Wolseley armoured car on the Landships forum. I don't know what scale it is, but as long as it has one you can resize the critical dimensions as needed.

If that doesn't get you there directly, it's one of the models created by Alexander Bondar

Yes, I already found this model. Apparently, will have to use it as a base for work.
Thanks.

Michael,

Although a little later than the version you want. It's dimensions are very close as its the same chassis .Although the height is a little off for a comparison.
The second pic should help with scaling to you miniatures rather than a scale model.

If the side elevation in the downloadable card model is accurate and the length refers to the furthest limits front and back then the distance of the wheel base is 3.785 m.

How did you get this value?

Overall length of actual vehicle multiplied by (length of wheel base on card model side elevation divided by overall length of card model side elevation)
