Question about small carrier

[The Prussian]

Does someone have informations about this carrier?

I have seen another photo with german soldiers of WWI, so it must be a vehicle of that period, but I don´t know which country did build it.

I assume, it was a carrier for bigger artillery grenades.

Looking at the track and roller combination, it reminds me of a French configuration. Vickers and Renault both had track vehicles that were similar. Is it self propelled? The French had a pull behind track trailer.

Brilliant! Thank you very much!

But as I´ve read in the article below ( http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-history/ot-crawler-tractors-196276/index15.html#post1497873 ),

it´s not russian, but american, right?
