Can someone tell me what model of Sherman this is? Thanx!

Medic gives a shot to soldier near front line. Tank behind soldiers with "Rice's" and "61938" stenciled on side. 3/12/1951. Korean War.

Based on the angle of the rear hull plate, I'd say it's a M4A3E8

I think the tank name is "Rice's Red Devils". Using a 'super-zoom' on the 'Bigger Photo' you can just barely make out the word 'Red' in the star and I think 'Devil' on the other side.

Korean War would be the 'Easy Eight', isn't it? MySherman ID skills are sub-par.

There's a nice artwork of a tank from this unit (same tank?) in Dunstan's Armour Of The Korean War:
