Again the German card is signed incorrectly!

It not the Romanian armored car!
It is Russian armored car on the chassis of Hotchkiss 60 CV (Now it is checked up, not Russo-Baltique) made at Izhorski factory. Such cars was only TWO - both in 1st mashin-gun company of RIA (not to confuse to 1st automobile-machine-gun company), both took Germans. One of them then participated in revolution in Berlin ("Lotta").
At me the whole meeting of such silly cards - on one is written French, on other even English. Now the Romanian. I repeat - only two such it has been constructed.

So, the same car, which has been in some photo taken from the exhibition of German war trophies, which I have seen somewhere in these talks?

Hotchkiss, project of Grauen, made in Izhorsky. I think it looks so similar to Russo-Balt, because it has same designer.

Where they built in 1915 or when?

I think, not the same. This two cars have a little differents - the side-windows on a motor. On all exhibition (Posen, Berlin, Hamburg) was second car - later "Lotta".

I cheked the list of Russo-Baltique works, all chassis delivery for Russian army 1912-1916. For armoured cars wroten 8 chassis type C 24/30  for colonel Dobrschanski (1st automobil-mashin-gun compyny) and later some chassis for captain Nekrassoff (type C 24/40 and D 24/40). One chassis (type L 24/40) go to Wild division armoured car (also project Grauen/Dobrschanski wihtout turrel), one C 24/40 for Kurski infanterie-regiment armoured cat (unknown construction of armour) and one for shtaff-captain Mgebroff (Miitary automobile scool, also unknown, no picture).

This two cars bulit end of 1914 or beginn of 1915, the same construction of carosserie - with turrel (!!!), others chassis!
