shows M4s 'Blitz' and 'Chaser' knocked out within yards of each other.

Be careful with your interpretation of that film. The Germans edited together film clips from different locations and time periods to make that film. For example neither 12ss nor 21st Panzer used Stug IIIs. The Pz IV 415 is not 12ss. In 12ss the 4th company was a Panther Company and not Pz IVs. The Pz IV Companies were numbered 5 to 9. On some other sites I seen some of the Shermans in the film identified as being British tanks KOed at later dates.
