IMO looks like Ford A3 version http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/sherman_types/m4a3/m4a3.html because: - looks like the normal chassis and not extended one of the A4 - the hook shape on the right side (in photo) - small viewing hole in the turret http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/sherman_types/m4a3/m4a3.html petep wrote IMO they look like British/Commonwealth troops riding it, who didn't have M4A3s. I agree I don't think it is an A4 either, It could be an M4 A2 (known as a Sherman III by the British) it looks very similar to the Normandy pics here.....
