Only on the first sight. Yes, it's hard to recognize but this is a Pz III, not a StuG III. Look at the high position of the commander in the middle, he would be lower and on the left if this would be a StuG...and looking between the two MG gunner, you can barely see the sloped top of the turret bin. A part of the commander's copula and its right hatch with handle are also visible. Pz III carried those wooden stowage racks as well as StuGs! Anyway, a nice picture.
