The Selbstfahrlafette für 7.5cm PaK 40 auf Somua MCG S307(f),
were converted French halftracks, coverted by Baustokommando Becker into armoured half-tracks.

The SOMUA MCG was a half-track artillery tractor and recovery vehicle of the French forces during World War II.

Manufactured by the Somua company it was used to tow medium artillery pieces such as the 155 mm mle 1917 howitzer and the 105 mm mle 1936 field gun, as well as their specific ammunition trailers. Of this main version 345 were produced: 264 until 1 September 1939 and another 81 until the end of May 1940.

The German versions were used to fill a variety of roles in the 21st Panzer Division, when it was reformed after its destruction in North Africa campaign. Variants of these included an armoured rocket launcher with an 8 cm Raketen-Vielfachwerfer, a self-propelled mortar mounting an 8 cm Reihenwerfer multiple mortar array and a tank destroyer version with a 7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
