This one has been quite an enigma so far, is it an original, WW II vehicle, or a post-war conversion?

Was this with the wide angle objective ?

They soon exchanged their camo for standard US uniform, as even us British shot at anything wearing camo uniforms!

Is this painted in UK marking?

the unit marking correspond to the 2nd US Armored Division, 41st Infantry Regiment, C Company. So, the answer is : no.

By the way, the 41st Infantry Regiment is well known, because it was equipped with "King Kard" camoufalged suits in Normandy and Britanny in August and September 1944 :

Those are clearly two different cases

I can see the guy with a pole is putting extra efforts in documenting precious historical artifacts for posterity. The other two were just hanging around

Massimo

that is not true, I was checking that the historical artifact was not displayed unstable.

Walter was asking if it would be okay to let you near .....

You travel a lot to get into a museum and take pictures, but then any kind of visitors get in the way, preventing you to get a clean shot

I know this problem, at some of my photos of Overloon there was a strange visitor with a camera on a pole or something

Those are clearly two different cases Cool
