Nice photos! I wonder where are all French photos? I have looked many books and there are only few photos ever published of French armoured cars.

20.10.1914 Russia ordered in France 40 Renault M 1914 (without a weapon!). They come as parts: chassis and armor. Assembled was made at Military Atomobile School in Petrograd. After testing in Russia as they were not suited for battle - too weak (only 20 hp engine, and only 4 mm armor). In use, they were only used as an ammunition-transporter - not in combat.
Until 20.05.1916 Renault 34 came to Russia. 21.06.1916 at the front were only 16 Renault and 7 on a way to front. 
Some ACs were also used in civil war.
