The M4A1 with large hatch (Mato hull) was not fitted with the 75mm gun
That's what I used to think, but then research by Panther F and others pointed out that there was at least one batch of 150ish big hatch 75mm's built to Sherman DD standard in Ohio - the slapton sands memorial tank is one of them
Rumor has it a few 75mm Big Hatch M4A1 made it into the ETO as standard gun tanks. The only info I have is it was a small batch and they may have been attached to the 2nd AD.
