I believe that this photo goes along with photo 3 of 3 (Bild 183-J21826) in the other StuG III pics posted here at WW2DB. That photo (https://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=9211) has similar terrain, lighting and clouds in the sky... but even more important, the background shrubs and hill shapes on that photo's extreme left side - behind the StuG III's dust - seem to match the same features in THIS photo's extreme right side.

Additionally, the photographer names are permutations of the same name: Schröter and Schroedter.

The Bild numbers are not in sequence as they have been on other sequential photos, but I wonder if that was a quirk of how they were categorized.

Anyway, I guess that makes this photo 4 of 3!

Very glad to have been of help! Thanks for your reply/action.

By the way, on an unrelated note, is that a halftrack (SdKfz.250) in the rear of the column?

Having done a little more online research, the halftrack in the rear of this column might actually be an ammunition carrier (Sd.Kfz.252); I based this guess on its shape compared to some other photos of that type. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to confirm without a higher-resolution photo, or else another taken in this series (if it exists).

If I find out any more information, I'll add it later, with advanced thanks to WW2DB for allowing this open commenting!
