This vehicle has not been fitted with a howitzer shield, and still retains the large, fender-mounted headlights. The armored windshield cover is folded down, allowing the lack of a roof and glass windshield to be seen. Since this vehicle is based on the half-track personnel carrier M3, the fenders are thick in cross-section. (Picture from TM 9-710 Basic Half-Track Vehicles (White, Autocar, and Diamond T).)

This view view shows the rearward placement of the half-track's fuel tanks. Details of the howitzer mount can be seen, along with the .50cal pedestal mount in the rear of the vehicle. The right-angled corners of the fighting compartment are also obvious. (Picture from TM 9-710 Basic Half-Track Vehicles (White, Autocar, and Diamond T).)
