Found this photo in an article about gun upgrading of the Sherman.However no explanation about the one on the photo.The turret seems to be tilted of its base,it has added armor but one pair of wheels is missing??Anybody knows this photo and has more info on it?Thanks,brummbar

It’s probably an incomplete vehicle prettied up for display until it can be restored, the Turret does look to be just sitting on the Hull, crookedly so. Suspension stations are fastened with a number of large bolts, and fairly easy to remove, or install so they might be waiting for parts to become available or for that particular station to be finished, and ready for installation.
