Real photo?

Hello all I found this photo of what looks like Czechoslovakian troops on a truck but I don't know if it is real or not.

 

Please help me as I think it looks real but something about it is off, thanks.

Looks like a still image from a movie of some sort, but if that is so I have no idea which one it would be. The tint reminds me of some 1960s color movies.

 

I see that the correct Czech insignia is on the door. Warsaw Pact era maybe, or a depiction of that time frame? There are similarities between the truck shown and certain models of Tatra truck (more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_(company)) and also the Ural 375D (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ural-375 and https://mikesresearch.com/2020/09/27/czechoslovakia-1945-and-1968/ - scroll down to "Operation Danube 1968" and then to the example of a Ural 375D with trailer shown).

 

But there are also differences between those and your example as well. Perhaps there are other manufactures of army trucks used by the Czech military besides Tatra and Ural to check out?

 

I don't know Czech vehicles or uniforms & gear well enough anymore to know whether what is shown is accurate or not. Hopefully somebody else will respond that knows more on this than I do.
