there was some even closer divergent evolution with the Marder I since the free french tried to do the exact the thing with the Lorraine 37L as the germans did but they used a British 17 pounder. Sadly the allied Marder didn't work out even though it would fit right in with stuff like the Valentine Archer.

Even more comically both the Free French and Germans tried to turn the Renault UE artillery tractor into an SPG with the germans using a Pak 36 and the Free French using a 6 pndr. Both were so massive the crew had to dismount and fire it using a pull cord.
