Wouldn't have considered it if it was not correct to type.

It is not correct to the Sherman I have - I know that the Sherman I have did not have this mod when on the firing range in Belgium, so is unlikely to have finished the war with one installed (unless the Belgians removed them?).

I don't have the correct standard cupola, but I do have the ARV version with the Sherman adapter ring.

The known photos indicate that Canadian tanks and Fireflies were fitted with them, though from exactly when is not clear - mid 44 is the earliest I believe this would be likely (though perhaps someone knows for sure).

Does anyone know of any Shermans with this fitted anywhere please?

Tim
