Hello Jose,
What a great photograph! I'm researching the company that donated this vehicle to the army and am curious to know where you found the original photograph.
Would love to hear from you.
regards,
Hilary

Hello Hilary, thank you very much for your comment.
The company that provided the Renault car to the army was the car import company "Canada Cycle and Motor Agency" of Brisbane, Queensland.
In the caption of:
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. Dec. 12. 1914.-pag-828
The following text reads:
A PATRIOTIC GIFT TO THE QUEENSLAND SECTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN FORCE: A RENAULT CAR ARMED WITH A MACHINE-GUN, AT BRISBANE.
This fine armed car was presented by the Canada Cycle and Motor Agenry, of Brisbane, to the Queensland section of the Australian Expeditionary Force. The chassis is a Renault, and the body was specially built for carryinfg to machine-gun. The boxes round the sides of the platform are for ammunition and spare parts of the gun. The Australian force recently landed in Egypt.
I hope you find these data useful.
Sincerely,
Jose

French Armored Car Platoon. Northern of France, December 1914
A French Platoon belonging to a "Groupe d'Auto-Mitrailleuses-Canons de la Marine"
A Section (Platoon), of the two that were constituting the "Groups of Auto-MG-Cannons of the Navy" (GAMC)*, performs a stop in a town of northern of France or of Belgium, at an early date to December 1914.
In the foreground, two Renault Armored Cars (M.G.) M1914 and, later, four Peugeot Armored Cars (Cannon) M1914. Open the column one of the Peugeot, this one unarmed and dedicated to the ammunition supply of the Section, which means that still they are far from the front.

Japanese Osaka Armored Cars M1919 in Siberia, 1921
Japanese Armored Cars in Siberia (Siberian Expeditionary Force 1918-1922)
Three Osaka Armored Cars M1919 (*). The left one is a medium type (in Japan qualified as light), performed on a 3-ton truck. The two on the right are heavy type, made on 4-ton trucks. Probably this photograph could have been taken after the conquest of the city of Khabarovsk, on 22 December 1921. This action took part, as support for the white 'Kápelevtsy' troops, the japanese armored cars and artillery, according to military writings of Trotsky.

Tres Coches Blindados Osaka M1919 (*). El de la izquierda es de tipo medio (calificado por los japoneses como ligero), realizado sobre el chasis de un camión de tres toneladas. Los dos de la derecha son de tipo pesado, realizados sobre chasis de camiones de 4 toneladas.
Probablemente esta fotografía podría haber sido tomada después de la conquista de la ciudad de Khabarovsk, el 22 de diciembre de 1921. En esta acción intervinieron, como apoyo a las tropas blancas conocidas como 'Kápelevtsy', artillería y coches blindados japoneses, según consta en los escritos militares de Trosky.
