Interesting to see the colours of the rear Sherman’s barrel, painted in the scheme as depicted in one of my earlier drawings. Front Sherman seems to be the standard 76mm version in overall Olive Drab. Yellow tac markings are consistent with the Pretoria Regiment. Pity no Arm of Service marking is visible. Any guess at the WD number ?
