Looks like A Bussing armoured car -

Barrage miniatures have one in 1/56 - apparently only a few were ever produced and all were used on the Eastern Front

Excellent model by the way.

Rather depends on your definition of a few, lolforty or so made during the 'war'and another twenty+ After the war (these weren't as tough or well armoured as the war time vehicles)and there's  also a report of one being used in the defence of Berlin in ww2.
In all an underrated model for gaming,(yes I do have one in my own range as do a couple of other companies :D)it's definitely a model worth adding to your collection regardless of who you buy it from.
Some very interesting pictures and a great find ,the staff car being my favourite it'll make a great story piece model for any collection.
Thanks for posting,
Mark.

Those images are very interesting, especially the first one. I take note of the Remington or Winchester with the scope. Vary cool.
