Hi Folks!

This looks like the M3 that was setting next to the museum building in that video of the M5 Stuart being lifted onto the carrier.
The serial number on the rear tow lugs is 4559.

Looks like the TC mini turret has been replaced by a split hatch from a Sheman.

One of the last M3s - 164-ish from the end.

Versions with the split hatch are command vehicles aren't they?
