Thanks Hanno, I must buy better reference books on the M3, as every single one in my collection says that the Grant I was an M3 and Grant II was an M3A5, with the M3A1 to A4 being Lee Tanks

If the Grant ACV seen above has a welded hull, and it certainly looks like it, then it is definitely a different Grant ACV to the one used by General Poole in Bologna in April 1945. Perhaps the Division had several in use all at once.
