WWII German Tank Hunter, Nashorn restored to drivable condition, Overloon War Museum

Nashorn (rhinoceros), initially known as Hornisse (hornet), was a German Panzerjäger (tank hunter) of World War II. It was developed as an interim solution in 1942 by equipping a light turretless chassis based on the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks with the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun. Though only lightly armoured and displaying a high profile, it could penetrate the front armour of any Allied tank at long range, and its relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles ensured it remained in production until the war's end.
The Hornisse/Nashorn was issued to the heavy anti-tank battalions (Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilungen); six would eventually be equipped: Schwere Panzerjäger Abteilung 560, 655, 525, 93, 519 and 88. Each battalion was equipped with 45 Nashorns. Most of theNashorns in these units fought either on the Eastern Front or in Italy, few having been sent to Western Europe.

As someone who has seen in to the superstructure a couple of years ago, I can tell you that there isnt so much in there, just a tan box and the 88mm

Jawohl!
