Thanks Maurice; clear story on the muzzle brake.

Quote:

The is damage on the differential housing , gun shield and half way on the barrel , so there must have been an impact on extra tracks welded to the front

I know some more pics of the same sherman have been published in issue number 1 of the Panzerwrecks book. I don't have the book myself, but I wonder if any of the damage can be seen in the pics. It all sounds like the tank was hit before being captured by the Germans (?)

Edit: the pics from the Panzerwrecks book have been published here:
