I guess they did not do a lot of research before making their signs.

Well, it well looks like easy 8 gun so M1 gun after all.

Doesn’t seem so. You can clearly see the 75mm M3 gun on the Sherman Crab – the barrel is pretty short with no muzzle break. The M4A4 DV has much longer barrel WITH muzzle break.

But it looks a bit different then M1 (76mm) guns, hency the question i asked.

Not true, there is a M13/40 located at Bovington Tank Museum which was acquired from the North African campaign ;) check out this website and it will clarify everything :) http://preservedtanks.com/Types.aspx?TypeCategoryId=5300&Select=1

Btw. The Italian tank is the only one of it’s kind left. That was cool to see. All the rivets were ground to points and there were a lot of them. Cool details.

This one they did not write much about. Just said WW2 Vickers tank with twin machine guns.

Sign said Mark IV with a 6 pound cannon infantry tank. Don’t know what to tell you. We just took pictures of all the placks.

In the last couple of photos, is that Vickers V1c model with a 40mm pom-pom gun? To bad we did not get that model as a WG gift.

That’s what the sign said. We are not tank engineers. I assume they know what they are talking about.
