The chassis was the one of the reliable mass-produced Panzer IV. They referred to it casually as the “Stupa 43”. Although commonly referred to as the Brummbär, this was the nickname given to the Sturmpanzer 43 by Allied intelligence, not by the Germans. Alkett received the order to design the new vehicle, which would be known as the Sd.Kfz.166, Sturmpanzer, or Sturmpanzer 43. In 1942, Albert Speer placed an order for a howitzer mounted on a tank chassis to keep up with the Panzer Divisions. Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts.
