Note that the universal carrier also sports a bridge class on the side, and what appears to be the same semi-gloss paint as on the tank. I'm leaning towards collectors markings as opposed to in service markings.

I also see a CAR number assigned to the limber. Can't say I have seen that before, but if so, it would not be incorrect to add the year. I know that CAR numbers were assigned to existing artillery pieces in the early 50s, but were out of a block of numbers that was within the block for the M38/M38A1s.

However the numbers on the Shermans were the second version of the DND numbers. I have seen no evidence of these being directly changed to CAR/CFR numbers.
