Considering the relative size of the half of Anchovy sticking out of the tank to the height of the rest of the tank, I am convinced that isn't a tank, but a tank-shaped go-kart that doesn't have enough head room to put your head in even if you're kneeling.
Wow. I thought the artist was just exaggerating, I've never looked up this thing before, and that is not an exaggeration! Those things are tiny! How is that supposed to be effective?
I mean, obviously it isn't because we don't use them any more, but what was the design thesis for this thing like?

"We need to give a machine gun some armor and wheels"

Pretty damn effective against troops without anti-tank weapons. My grandfather used to tell stories about the Sino-Japanese war and fleeing from tankettes... until they learned to put rifle and machine-gun rounds through the vision ports and exposed crewmen. Still, did the job fairly well.

Well, blame the British. They were the first who got the idea. :-P
Anyway, it's nothing important, but after the movie the only pics of Anchovy with tanks that come out are with the tankette... what happened to the P40?
