I hope it’s close to what you are looking for. I don’t know much about them.

Sort them by country, and look under Germany ; Mortars

It does not. It did not travel on its own suspension often enough to justify 128 tires for all of the wheels and return rollers, and wasn’t meant for traversing really rough ground so a cushy suspension wasn’t needed.

This photo loks like it has rubber tired return rollers, but the black looks more like paint.

The prototype chassis of the Gerat 40 had eight road wheels per side with external swing arms. It had rubber-rimmed road wheels and return rollers. The 6 production models had 11 road wheels per side, (steel-rimmed) and also had rubber-rimmed return rollers.

The photo above is of “Adam”, one of the 6 production version Gerat 40/41, with the steel-rimmed wheels and 60cm barrel.

Here is a photo I took last summer of one of the 60cm shells, at the Wehrtechnische Museum in Koblenz;
