M20 75mm recoilless rifle mounted on a 3/4-ton Dodge WC-51/52 truck in Korea - August 1950
This was a non-standard mounting, they simply mounted a recoiless rifle on the M24A1 pedestal mount using the cradle originally designed for the M1917 water-cooled .30 cal MG, which was also used to mount the recoiless rifle on a tripod.
Thanks Hervé Charbonneau for his assistance
