RE: Sherman Three piece transmisson cover
Hi Jeff To me a Sherman should have the three piece transmission,nearly All the photos and films of the war show Shermans, Grants/Lees with three piece transmission covers with VVSS suspension.I think its because most of the early Shermans and Grants were sent to the British forces under lend leese.Even The Fireflys had them,we didnt have the M4A1 76mm but we did have loads of M4A1 75mm.
