I believe it is an early M-3 light tank. It still has the sponsen mounted MG, the 37mm is a later model than your picture of the M-2, Turret has different pistol port arrangement, idler wheel is the large 'trailing link' style used in the M3 & M5.

Definitely an M3 and yes ... Patton made up the rules as he went along. Mr. Green

It's funny the caption with the photo reads, "Patton driving a tank on the desert"!

I'd say that's a good description. Smile

I'd did some looking around and it appears to be an M3A1. The main gun is definately not what was on the M2 series.
