Hi there

It's unusual to see the red-white-red AFV recognition marking still in use in April 1944. However, it could be an older vehicle turned into Ord then re-issued prior to D-Day.

Then again, I have seen a photo of an M-10 3" SP on the beach at Normandy sporting the marking.

On D Day all 3rd British Infantry Division arty SP guns (inclunding the M10s as you noted) and Shermans had the Red-White-Red flash, as had the Centaurs and Shermans of all the RMASG units.
