Odd armoured car

eugene · Field Marshal

the lettring is mix of cyrilic and latin letters, so this is most likely in poland as for the car looks like some modification of MGEBROV-WHITE

if some one can enhanse the lettering that I can perhaps translate it and that can lead to a clue to were the car is, much hunch is its in poland or in a polish unit

Vilkata · Brigadier

From an enhanced picture, it looks like it says something like "EXPWRWA" not that this makes any sense of course.

looks like the thrid letter is either ю or и
л

got it

its actaully full of false cognate cyrillic letters

its
еkрилwa

which loosely means bulky, but more like big

Hello Guys, My reference states the following about this Armoured Car: Two armoured cars were constructed by the Izhorsky Plant for the 1st Machine Gun Company in the begining of 1915, and were captured by the Germans and used in Berlin in 1918, I have photos of at least one of them in Berlin.

So I assume they are a Izhorsky Version??????

Izhorsky a factory, 1915. Armored "Russo-Balt" 2 cars for 1-st Machine-gun "rota".
It is a pity there are no other photos, from other foreshortenings.

Tim R · Hero

I have three other photos, of this AC, I will try to post them after the holidays.

There it is written
E.K.P.10 H(or R?).W.
The name of the German unit grasped armored car is probable
