Heights can always be tricky depending on which source you use.

One of my favourite source books is "Standard Catalog of German Military Vehicles" By David Doyle
ISBN 0-87349-783-x prited 2005 by KP books.

It states:

Krupp type L2H143 (Protze)

Height 1.8m

Sd.kfz 10

height 1.62m

Problem is with these figures it is hard to determine whether they include the canopy cover for both vechles being up or down! It would seem sensilbe that the standard Sd.kfz 10 was in fact much lower than the versions mounting flak guns and antitank guns, both of which would raise the vehciles height significantly and its chances of being seen by the enemy!
