It's a model but it also definitely existed:

also:

The plane resembles an Arado 234 configured for night-fighting, but I'll admit it's a guess. I'm pretty sure the tank is a self-propelled gun, but I'm not sure of the make.

The aircraft....Arado Ar 234 B-2/N Nachtigall
The self-propelled artillery piece....10.5cm K18 auf Panzer Selbstfahrlafette IVa

A French Vespa 150 TAP.

Only the French could come up with an abortion like this.....
$1:
Vespa 150 TAP is an Italian Vespa scooter modified to transport a M20 75 mm recoilless rifle, which was used in the 1950s by the French Airborne Forces (Troupes aéroportées, or TAP). It was produced by Ateliers de Construction de Motocycles et Automobiles (ACMA), a licensed assembler of Vespas in France, in 1956 and 1959.
Its mounted M20, a U.S.-made light anti-armour cannon, was very light when compared to a standard 75mm cannon but was still able to penetrate 100 mm of armour by HEAT warhead. The recoil is counteracted by venting propellant gases out the rear of the weapon which eliminated the need for a mechanical recoil system or heavy mounts, enabling the weapon to be fired from the Vespa frame.
