From the clean upper surface it looks like it ended its demonstration in the first bog hole. Churchills not selected!

Lang, Australia did select the Churchill and ordered 50 but the war ended when about half had been delivered and the remainder of the order was cancelled.
The other tanks trialed were the M24 Chaffee and several versions of the Sheman.
