No

I would say this is a COMET by track chassis and turret shape, leftover used as target practice

oldest tank still in use with 4th tank regiment in 1961, quite possible target when "shot" in Berlin 1964

1954,was the last year the British army used comet tanks,so must be a hard target.The writing on the side of the tank would have been its war department registration.

This tank is still very much alive in the film , it is in very good condition and moves at speed .

Although the hull and turret are correct for a Comet, the gun is way too short, possibly it is an old one used as a driver training vehicle.

looks like 2 pounder gun 40mm instead of usual 77mm
this is document of british standby during The Berlin Crisis of 1961.
