Anyone know what tank this drive wheel/sprocket is from?
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.

Looks like a deep dish Tiger 1 wheel to me.
Kirk Douglas : Mine hit the ground first
John Wayne : Mine was taller

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.

7 spokes !
Looks like it is scratch time.
Kirk Douglas : Mine hit the ground first
John Wayne : Mine was taller
