Weight might be off by a few tons, but it doesn't seem overly difficult to carry the 75/46 on an armoured car this size. Quite a few vehicles in the same weight class with similar or larger armament. Take the M3 Portee for example with 75mm and 105mm guns at around 10t.

No matter. The vehicle is already obsolete compared with the Argun C anyway.

Still quite expensive for the task when trucks and halftracks can do the same job on the cheap

I don't know if beautiful is the word I was looking for. Bland might perhaps be more appropriate.

Tracked vehicles are much more expensive to run than wheeled vehicles. I recently read one of Zaloga's papers looking at IFVs which put the cost of tracked vehicles at around 12-15 times the cost of wheeled ones. It's a pretty big cost saving if cross-country mobility can be sacrificed.
