Translated from Polish:
On May 28, 1920, soldiers from the 55th Infantry Regiment of 14. Wielkopolska DP captured the Austin-Putilov car in the area of Bobrujsk . He carried the Soviet name: " Stieńka Razin " and belonged to the 1st Armored Division. This car supported the Soviet infantry, but fell into a ditch and was immobilized and then abandoned by the crew. After getting the car, called " Poznanczyk ", he became the first vehicle of the newly created Greater Poland Armored Car Platoon. The commander of the car and platoon was Lieutenant Feliks Peto. In July, the platoon participated in the battles against Bobrujska and was moved to Warsaw, where in August it was reformed into the 2nd Armored Car Platoon.

From what I can find out the platoon was made up of similar captured Austin ACs (Y)
