Default Swiss Ram tank?

In the early days after WW2 the Swiss Army museum at Thun had a Ram Tank on display.

This raises a few questions:

1) What was a Ram tank doing in Switzerland? Did they procure an example for testing after WW2?

2) As the Ram is no longer in the collection at Thun, who knows what happened to it? Expended as a range target?
