What is this tank?

Terry,

the letters just identify the target as target Alpha, Kilo etc. My Sherman was Alpha Juliet. These were marked on the range maps and used as aiming points for artillery.

Those targets are on Larkhill (east) side of the Plain. The targets with a W prefix may be on Warminster (west) side but I'm not sure, it's been a while since I was out there.

The vehicles nearest to the tracks get painted more regularly than those in the moonscape!
