One of the tanks I looked up was "Avalon", the Sherman Crab mk1 now in the Overloon museum. I see it listed as an M4, but it's based on an early M4A4 direct vision hull. I don't know of any wartime pictures, only pictures from 1946/47 when the museum had just opened, but I believe the name and census number are genuine.

Hi Alex,

We have tried to avoid using museum examples for names and numbers as they are not always what they propose to be. Museum examples are only used if there is confirming official paperwork/ photos.
AVALON is undoubtably a M4A4, I will update it accordingly.
Thank you for the correction.

Cheers

Kevin
