For those who are interested the tank pictured is a Soviet T-26 Model 1931 tank with the twin turret that was designed for each to carry a Degtyarev machine gun. It was based off of the British Mk.E 6-ton tank design. Definitely more of a anti troop tank since it would not have fared well against another tank. Here's a better picture.
