- the_shadockto be more complete on the answer, only the small hatch M4A3s and the M4A4s have wide hood castings on the front hull. M4s and M4A2s have the narrow hood castings. So, the Sherman displayed ouside is an M4A3 or an M4A4.
You can see that it has a fitting for the 4″ bomb throwers on the turret side, and that is a typical British fitting, so this tank was used by British troops during WW2. Then you can tell that it is an M4A4 because the British only had very few M4A3s.

- Garry_RedmonUnfortunately this is not the only example of incorrect displays made by the staff. The volunteers have made note of them and will discuss with the staff at our next meeting.
- Garry_RedmonIt's mislabeled. See this link from my web site.

Go to bottom of page. The spacing on bogies is more evident. I identified it as an M4A4, but I have been wrong before. Really.
- bsmart- the_shadock#36 is not an M4A2....
anyway the displays are interesting. Thanks for the photos !!

I'm not doubting you but how can you tell from that angle?
- the_shadocklooking at the album, I wonder how they managed to find a spare turret for the Renault FT hull.
