Got to love those Germans.

If they had captured a golf cart they would have tried to mount something on it and we would all be buying kits of it.

Thats quite a anti tank vehicle, 3 remote fired panzerschreks!
Some of the pics ive seen of Carriers show a metal plate with 4 supports in the corners attached to the carrier to act as a grenade shield. That would be a neat change from the regular ones. I imagine the Germans captured some of those carriers (i think it was a modification put on by crews in the field, not ever made like that)
