Does anyone have any info regarding the "Sherman Firefly Deep Wading Gear"???

[Alex van de Wetering]

Thanks everyone!

For all your replies, usefull information and good pictures!!!.
I didn't expect so much reactions and such a good discussion!!!
In the meantime I have started the work on firefly "Carole"-scale model. I will fit the rearmost wading trunk/tube/box like fitted on "normal Sherman V's and just cover the air inlet-grille behind the turret and leave the turret-hatches open, because this was the most likely configuration and some of this can be seen on pictures.
(I haven't decided or found out if the air inlet grille was covered with sheet metal or with canvas).

For those interested I am planning to build more of the vehicles that were aboard LCT 212 (like Firefly " Carole" ). I allready started work on a Sherman ARV I and am planning to build a Sherman III ("Charmer?") and a Sherman V.

In the meantime (I always work on too much projects at once!) I am still busy on my CMP Ford F60H wrecker! I include a picture.
