Tony,

Richard is right about the rubber...even NOS track propoerly stored suffers from this, let alone rubber track which has been left in the open.

As for identifying it, see http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoels...track_vvss.htm.
It could be T41 as used on M3 and M4 Medium tanks as well as related AFVs like the Sentinel and Ram. It is 16" wide and weighs 61 lbs/ft. Stuart track is narrower.
