Unfortunately I didn´t have the time to see all the exhibits, there are many more vehicles, artillery and aircraft along displayrooms with all sorts of uniforms, equipement & weapons. I plan to go back soon though.

Hi David
Did you see some german artillery ?
Or do they keep it in the storage rooms

I think they kept that in storage, the artillery I saw was Dutch 1850-1970 mainly. It is possible there is some in one of the rooms I didn't have time to visit, but I don't think so.

concerning the rear plate of the wrecked M4 Sherman

This is how the rear looks like, it doesn't have the 2 smaller lugs halfway the engine bay hatch
Sorry P-O thoughed you was talking about the lugs under the idler wheel

the photo is perfect, that's exactly what I needed. I was looking for the lugs under the idler wheel, that's right.
