M4A2/Sherman III interior drawings, pictures?

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Guys,

Last week I continued work on my 1/35 Sherman III/M4A2 model (early completely welded hull, like supplied to the British and French). Although I still haven’t finished my 1/35 firefly with interior, I started work on the M4A2, which is how I normally work and that’s also why I usually takes some time before I finish a project.

I want to fit an interior to my M4A2 model, because I intend to build a turret less ARV. Last week I installed the transmission, driver’s controls and the drive shaft. But than I stumbled upon a problem. I didn’t have enough information to build an accurate engine firewall!
I have been looking for pictures on the Internet and than discovered some interior pictures of a M4A2 based Sherman BARV. You can clearly see the firewall and clutch-section of the diesel-engine.

But it looks like some parts are missing (for instance a cover over the clutch?). Can someone comment of these pictures? Is this interior, the original M4A2 style, or were some parts borrowed from other Shermans? Has anyone got any interior sketches, pictures or online links to pictures of the M4A2 interior?
