Hauptmann Bethke and the "Malta KV-2"

Captain Hans-Günther Bethke (on the photo still as an NCO and officer aspirant) and the "Malta KV-2". In the end the planned invasion of Malta was cancelled, Bethke was killed in action at Mga/Northern Russia on September 14, 1942.

This cannot be Bethke, he won his Ritterkreuz for his action in Westfeldzug as an Oberleutnant in Pz.Rgt.11. Regrettably I cannot identify the NCO shown here.
