The first two pictures are of the Wespe but the third one is just an ordinary Panzer II which isn't what the article title implies. |

Yes, the last pic is a Pz.II … without it's turret MG, just the 20mm. But the Wespe uses it's chassis. As one can see from the pics. |

I have an old model of it in 1/76 -- probably by Matchbox. |

Well they had to put in on some kind of chassis … |

I didn't watch the video, too long. But I suppose the Wespe's major shortcoming was that it couldn't carry much ammo, so another one, without a gun, was used for that. I have to wonder at the comparative costs of building 2 Pz II chassis vs, say, one Pz III or IV (or III/IV) chassis. |
