T34 with Notek?
I just stumbled across this article/video, sure looks to me like a Notek light on this tank.
Am I right? Not a huge T34 buff, so no idea if the Russians borrowed the idea from the Germans or not, but from a model I just looked at, there was no light in that location. Looks just like the StuGIIIG (and others no doubt) mount to me.

at :44 is a good shot of it.

RE: T34 with Notek?
Yup, it's a Notek light. It's a fairly common modification seen on Post-war Warsaw Pact T-34/85s, especially in East Germany. Which kinda make sense.
