What's unusual is it comes with the ball studs that are supposed to be attached to the MG mount. Those studs look like they'd be riveted/ bolted on, not welded like on a tank. I don't think it's for a Sherman, but maybe to an aircraft when parked.
Just a guess, maybe one of our aircraft experts recognizes it.

Maybe not the same - but quite similar.
