- Massimo_FotiThat data plate is italian. It says the tank was revisioned by "Officine Fiore", in Caserta, not that far from Naples. Back in those day the Italian Army's tank school was stationed in Caserta (it's now in Lecce)
Hope it will help

M47 (SN 3200) was received a few years ago in a shipment following a US Govt 'repossession' of loaned vehicles from the Ropkey Armor Museum in Crawfordsville Indiana.
Included were the M47, M42 'Duster', M114, and a towed 8in howitzer.
The M114 & The M42 are now at Ft Benning. The 8in Howitzer is now on static display in front of the museum. (its actually on the pad that the T28 had previously been located on.)

She's in Smyrna Tennessee. The folks who own her thinks she's an M48A2.

Could you see if this M47 was also a former Belgian Army Tank. SN is 3791.
- DontosI have located a number of shots of the 'cutaway' M47, before it was cut up. It seems it was on display for a number of years around what looks like Serio Hall.
