Sherman tank

welded hull excludes A1, US locations excludes A2 and that sloped rear excludes the original too

so we are left with A3 or A4 , I tend to say A3 cos doesn't quite look extended


now for A3 could be Fisher or Ford

looking more closely it seems it's the 76 mm longer gun this A3 version was made by Chrysler and Fisher

also no muzzle brake visible to suggest Easy 8 , Easy 8 had also HVSS but that is mute point here

so should be listed Chrysler M4 A3 "Sherman"
