France AFVs register was updated today, with a far more precise list of the vehicles stored in the museum reserves buildings. I visited them two weeks ago and have seen near to all of the vehicles listed on the document.

A shame that I was not able to identify all the vehicles, some are listed as "unknown model/variant" or "unknown vehicle"...

CARLISLE
1-18 Field Artillery, Pennsylvania ARNG Armory, 504 Cavalry Rd
M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight USA out SN 65944
The Sherman register lists this tank as being SN 65914

11473(?) M4A3(75) Carlisle, PA USA
11473(?) M4A3 Private owner, Fort Defiance, VA USA
The 2 vehicles have the same SN in the USA AFVs register? By the way, the Carlisle example has a painted RN 3053628, which is an exact match with the SN

Good catches P-O, thanks.

Looks like the Army Heritage & Education Center bought it from that private owner. BTW, it can be very useful to search the G104 forum for a particular SN/RN to get such details.

I seem to remember hearing that Carlisle bought a Sherman from a private owner a couple years back. I heard it in the form of 'Why is the Army buying a monument tank when they have them sitting at Anniston in storage?'

In fact I found a thread where we discussed it back in Feb 2008

Probably since they would get a runner (or at least a recent runner) that had gotten a lot more TLC...

I guess that it is a lightly vismod OT-810. The exhaust is on the right side, and it is on the left side on original SdKfz 251s.

Huh, I guess that makes two reenactor OT-810s that the California Army National Guard keeps around.

This is "Thor," which I last saw at Camp Roberts:

I would wonder if they're the same vehicle, but: 1) they're 4+ hours drive (242 miles) apart, and 2) appears to have different paint jobs.
