ZSU-25? Is such SP AA Exsisted?

[Tzoli]

It is known that the Wikipedia is a very good online source of information but as it can be freely be edited it not almost the most accurate.
Here there is a mention of a SPAAG aka Anti Aircraft Tank of soviet origin the ZSU-25 mounting two 25mm aa guns and dates back to around 1945:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anti-aircraft_guns
And the possible weapon which was mounted on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_mm_automatic_air_defense_gun_M1940_%2872-K%29

As myself and a friend of mine did not found any info about it nor pictures, I wonder if this tank is truly existed or not? Maybe a Lend-Lease or captured vehicle and the soviets renamed it?
Or maybe a forgotten variant of the ZSU-37 but with 25mm guns?

Hope you could help us solve this mystery.

These two Russian 25mm's are listed on the NavWeaps website:

25mm/76 84-KM http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussian_25mm-76_84-KM.htm

25mm/79 "over-under" series http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussian_25mm-79_2m-3.htm

They do fit the timeframe,
so could it be possible they attempted to mount this over-under system on a vehicle, (and it most likely proved unsuccessful...) ?

Be interesting to see...

The existence of the ZSU-25-2 has been mentioned in books, mainly by S. Zaloga (e.g. Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles 1946 to the Present, published in the '80s and the Concord ZSU-23-4 Shilka book). In the latter there is a photo of an East German W50 truck with a surplus naval over-under turret. During WW-II the Russians also nounted the side-by-side twin guns on trucks.

Awww thanks you saved the day!

By the way isn't that an IFA truck?

Of course, this is the IFA W50. Basic truck of DDR Army. Because it is not Soviet, but the East German anti-aircraft self-propelled vehicle.

and something else from my blog at livejournal. In the article at the link has other pictures. :
