Artistic Soldier?

[BWEF]

I picked up this photo, and was wondering if anybody recognises the type of tank?

IF that is army uniform he is wearing, and if the "234" is the start of his army number this would probably date from May 1956 until 1960. Also, possibly BAOR, given the AGFA paper.

Any comments?

It looks to me like an M-10 Achilles SP Anti-Tank Gun - so the scroll below could read something like 234 Anti-Tank Battery RA

If 234 ATk Bty is correct, this was a battery of 73 ATk Regt, XXX Corps in NE Europe.
