This picture was posted on G104. The M4A4 spigot mortar Sherman is fairly well known. But what is the Sherman that looks to be beside it - an M4A1 perhaps? It looks like the QM41 is on the other side of it - from the mast thing...

That is the "QM41 Target Tow Light Tank." It is an M41 that was used by the USN, but I'm not familiar with its history and use. The turret was removed and there is a clam shell covering the opening. There is an AWL's attached to the top. The M4 turret you see behind the QM41 is, I believe, an M4A4 that was pulled off a firing range ages ago and is now parked behind the museum.
