I believe it is the light blue strip painted on the R-35s of the 2nd Tank Regiment

More posible Yellow.

you forgot that it is certain proof about yellow strip on other rom tanks (R-35 Vanator de care ). Why should be light blue strip ?

Yes, it seems to be yellow.

But isn't there possibility that it is whitened light-blue stripe covered by rust drip?

Anything is possible

Possible white stripe covered by rust .

But my question is why light-blue strip and not yellow or white strip ?

If it is a company commander marking it should be three colors (3 companies) strips. Yellow, Blue and Red ?

"Romanian armour"

R-1 tankettes for sure, probably in Basarabia '41.

I think they are German.

Regimental command vehicles had an R instead of the Roman numeral to indicate a staff vehicle. R01 was the regiment commander, R02 the executive officer, R03 the regimental signals officer, and higher numbers designated other staff officers.

Also 6 PD's tanks all had the smoke candles in their armoured cover on the rear plate too. The soldiers are clearly wearing Roanian helmets and as 6 PD was in Army Group North this isn't German tanks with Romanian soldiers. Alan

I think they are romanian R-2s not german Pz.Kpfw.35(t)s, too.

No 35(t)s had angled turret rear, flattened hull rear, and center pintle hull rear.

And the vehicles of this photo don't have german tail-light, too...
