It looks like an sdkfz 8, however the wheels are not the same as the production model, nor are the folding sidesteps. Looking at the early helmets they are all wearing it is possible it is an early or preproduction version, otherwise it might just be a post war recreation but I think that is unlikley.

Anybody else have any ideas?

This document is from 1935, then "post war recreation" is excluded. ;)

Found it! It is a Daimler-Benz DB Sd.Kfz 8 s7, apparently from 1934-1935 a prototype halftrack that was used in the development of the standard sdkfz 8.
