A WWII version could be made with the Zvezda M-72 or BMW R12 kit providing the sidecar and one of the the available 1/35 Harley-Davidsons.

I looked up the women in the photo - I couldn't find anything about the driver (the last name is probably misspelled) but:
Elise M Reniger Birth: 29 Sep 1896 New York  Death: 28 Sep 1941 Los Angeles
Helen Marie Striffler Birth: May 8 1893 Death: Oct 26 1980

Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

ESCI/Italeri BMW or Zundapp kits providing the sidecar and the one of the
available 1/35 ESCI/Italeri Harley-Davidson.

I got enough projects, but that M-72 looks ripe to be hauling an SPG-9

I hope that's just a hose and pump, because that looks like it can't carry more than a six pack worth of fluids.

Don't forget the (presumably full) bladders of the two or three Firemen riding it.

I like the idea of a version with a ATGM (say, Milan) in the sidecar

The picture with the US soldiers in Iraq on an Ural/Dnepr M-72 with a sidecar is pretty cool.
