That's a good question ref the M4A2(76)W HVSS Shermans. And the having friends part...that was funny too.

Forum, was there a #(s) that wasn't painted on? Can the 45-78*** CAR be ID'd through hull or turret stamps?

I have to go get eyes on one that's been re-painted a bazillion times and no one has any idea what its number originally was.

I strongly suspect the 12e's Sherman was a pool or turned in example from almost anywhere in Quebec. Heck! It could be an ex Sherbrooke Regiment tank, because I know they were turned in circa 1963. My father took me and my brothers for a family day ride in one; I was hooked on tanks ever since.
