How about a Hetzer ONTOS? Half a dozen ( or so ) LG 40 or LG 42s hung on the sides.

Having a good old time on WOW playing Swedish versions of the 38(t) at the moment, just love how many versions of the vehicle permeate through that game.

More for usage than a particular build (since it applies to other series I've seen as well), but note how the crap is stowed for a Road March


Freshly delivered Panzerjäger 38 Ausf. H in La Goulette, Tunisia.
They could be part of the Panzerjäger-Abteilung 39 of the 21. Panzer-Division (or what's left of it) which got 9 of them in March 1943.

"top-heavy Swedish maybe" = 'top-heavy Swedish definitely'  ;)

This is the prototype Pvkv II (Pansarvärnskanonvagn II) tank destroyer mounting a 7,5 cm lvkan m/37A (an obsolete AA gun).
