A little while ago I made a posting on the axis history forum asking about the OOBs of the 1916 brusilov offensive, in the reply besides the divisions ect it listed the autopolemetaye platoons which I believe are armored car platoons here are the platoons and what corps and army they were assigned to:
Sorry i can't help you very much there but if you look at what was in service at the time some of these units would have them . Oops! I left out the 9th Auto Plt/ Guards army which shows up later

In reading the book "The Brusilov Offensive" by timouthy C Dowling it mentions on page 85 on 10 June "... the Russian XXXIX Corps by deploying armored vehicals once again, had managed to break the Austro-hungarian lines on the stochad river." Thanks for the above info Ivan i have some errata for this book: P71 the Commanding general of the II Cavalry corps was HIH Grand Duke Michael A. Romanov (The Tsar's younger brother) P 99 it talks of the men of the Imperial guards being "over six feet tall" . The average US soldier in WW I was 5'7" and the average Russian soldier was shorter. I don't think there were really that many 6 foot tall plus men in russia. The book "The End of the Russian Imperial Army" has many of the men in Guards regiments coming from the Petrograd area at the time of the Feb/Mar 1917 revolution. P 100 he has the I Guards Corps commanded by Crown prince Pavel Aleksandrovitch. he was a Grand Duke. P5 a number of typos 76.2mm not 121.9mm, 107mm not 106mm, 77mm not 87.5mm
