The markings on French carriers are quite uniform: all vehicles - except when stated - carry their military license plate, white letters plus national flag on a black rectangular surface, in the centre of the nose of the vehicle and on the back, to the left. Note however: the Renault UE and its trailer carry a license plate with white letters plus national flag WITHOUT black rectangular surface on the front. When a carrier was towing a trailer, a yellow triangle was displayed on a blue plate, most often on top of the vehicle. Usage of decals is alike for all vehicles. The vehicles in this set are all in French darkish green, except when stated.

The Renault UE was a French universal tracked vehicle from the Second World War. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in the early 1930s, and serial production began in 1932, ending with the production of approx. 4,500-5,000 vehicles. The basic version of the vehicle was powered by a Renault 85 engine with 38 HP. The basic Renault UE did not have fixed armament.

At the end of the 1920s, the command of the French army decided to create a lightweight, universal tracked vehicle that could serve as both a tankette and an artillery tractor. After numerous field tests, it was decided to put the Renault UE vehicle into production. During the service, vehicles of this type were used primarily for the transport of 25 mm anti-tank guns and as ammunition vehicles. A symbolic amount of Renault UE was sold to China and Romania before the outbreak of World War II. After the defeat of France in 1940, many vehicles of this type fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht, which used them, for example, to protect bases or airports, but also as light artillery tractors. After 1945, the vehicles that survived the war were incorporated into the French army again. A number of Renault UEs were armed with a machine gun and shipped to Indochina.
