They must have used this one.
Look at any photos of 250 and 251 series vehicles and compare to this.
It is definitely a late model 250.
Even if you ignore the 20mm turret they are sitting on, (the 75mm "stummel"
was in an open-backed "shield") this vehicle isn't long enough and doesn't have enough wheels for a 251.

romania used both 250 and 251 but as far as i know only standard versions excepting 6 251/9
one 251/9 was one of the 3 last afv of 2nd Armored regiment in may '45

maybe this machine is a captured example, used by romanian army aftere 23 august 44

Description has it as Transylvania 1944 so it's very possible that it's captured.

Indeed. It's a T-20 "Komsomolets" armoured light artillery tractor.
In 1943, 34 captured T-20's were repaired inside Rogifer plant and delivered to the romanian army, for the pulling of the german 50 mm type Pak 38 AT gun: 12 pieces were sent to 5 and 14 infantry divisions, another 6 to the 2nd armoured regiment and 4 more to 5 cavalry division.
In 1944 all were lost during the battle in Moldova or were taken back by the soviets after august 23rd.
