So, maybe the 0 armor is the armored cab version?
It also says "37 mm FlaK36 auf Fahrgestell Zugkraftwagen 5t (Sd.Kfz. 6/2): Sd.Kfz. 6 fitted with a 3.7 cm FlaK 36 gun, sides would fold down to allow space to work on. Crew of seven."
So, I'll guess different ratings are the Flak 43 vs. Flak 36. Although it seems odd that the version with the Flak 43 has lower ratings. And the article (admittedly brief) doesn't mention an armored cab on the 6/2.
I am not arguing about the SdKdz 7 having armor. If for no other reason than it has had armor since the original PG. There is minuscule armor on the front of the SdKdz 7. Several were produced with armored cabs. I made note of that, particularly because it pertains to the armed versions.
Both the SdKfz 6/2 and SdKfz 7/2 appearing in the game system so far are 1940 versions (Fall of France and Road to Dunkirk). So I am pretty sure we have the same gun.
The SdKfz 6 article that you reference notes that the vehicle is the designated prime mover for the 105mm howitzer. That makes it an artillery park vehicle. None of the other articles I have seen reference any armored versions. The vehicle was produced by Bussing-NAG, a company which was into making heavy trucks at the time.
