Yep, BT-7.  Basic design by J. Walter Christie.  By all accounts Mr.
Christie was rather difficult to deal with.  He had several run ins with the
war department.  His designs were also influential in the development of the
British "cruiser" tanks such as the Comet and Cromwell as well as the Polish
TP-10.  As far as I've been able to find out, there is a single example of a
Christie M-1928 or T-3 Combat Car at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

Its called the BT-7, and yes the early versions could run on roads with the
tracks removed, but the design was switched to only allow tracked travel due
to the trackless design being impractical.
