Postcard with Picture of Destroyed Tank

Here´s another postcard I got recently. Caption says "destroyed British tanks" but I´m pretty sure that this is a wreck of a French Schneider tank. Did the British Army use them as well in WW I?

According to the WIKI on it, says Italy used the Schneider,

 

During World War I, Italy did not field armored units for the most part till near the end of the war, due to a lack of tanks. Over 100 of the FT-17 tanks and 20 of the Schneider CA tanks were sent by France to Italy in 1918.

 

Italy in the summer of 1918 formed its first tank unit, the Reparto speciale di marcia carri d'assalto, with one Schneider and three Renault FT tanks; the Schneider tank was replaced in November 1918 with a FIAT 2000

Thanks patches, so I think the one on the postcard is a destroyed standard French one because the unit (LIR 94) of the sender fought at the western front.
