Hi Frank,
It is the upgunned Sherman to 76mm. I am suspecting it may be an Easy 8, but have not had the chance to get inside yet. The original invoice from Crown Assets only states A2.

You would know if it was an E8 on a clear day from a mile away looking at the exterior, from any angle, yes?

This what we are looking at. Weather conditions have prevented a closer inspection at this time.
But, it is going.
Somewhere.
