There’s also the NI Tank of the USSR during WWII - a tractor with naval metal sheets sandwiching sand, concrete and wood with either a heavy machinegun disguised as cannon or a 20mm gun in the turret. There’s the homemade tanks in Middle-East conflicts and, of course, the ever present Techicals.
The NI tank was created during the Siege of Odessa after all of the actual tank manufacturing had been removed from the city. So the engineers created monstrous Frankenstein tanks with whatever was left after the evacuation.

Pretty sure NI was created as a desperate attempt to have something, anything in a city that was under siege by Nazis at the time
