The vehicle is a German VK 5.01 Mannschaftstransportwagen "Kätzchen" prototype, in
other words an APC.
I've got some extra parts....
...so I might give it a shot.

Re: Tank Drive Wheel
Looks like a deep dish Tiger 1 wheel to me.

Re: Tank Drive Wheel
The drive wheel in the pic seems to have six spokes, similar to the King Tiger. The Tiger I has more.
....but not the same.
The PzKpfw II Ausf L “Luchs” drive wheel looks more like the one on the VK 5.01...
...but not as deep.

Re: Tank Drive Wheel

I think the drive wheel in the above VK 5.01 pictures has 6 spokes.
