Another variation is the "Bolster carrier",
as used by 28th Assault Squadron of 2NZ Div in Italy in 1945.
These were turretless Sherman II (M4A1) with either: a fixed frame that sloped down towards the front,
or a frame mounted on a turntable on the turret race(?) that seems to allow two fascines or cradles to be carried.
