welded hull means A2, A3 or A4 , NO A1

but doesn't look like extended chassis so not A4 either

so might as well throw the coin if A2 or A3

GRRR this needs a correction as I forgot a detail


it's an A3 as the A2 wasn't used by US Army

M4A3(76)W Sherman (VVSS)
This variant was manufactured by Chrysler (1400 units produced) and Fisher Body (525 units produced).

Then I'll name it Chrysler? It would be more, er, congruent.

In a while, for my f%*£§ connexion is a mess! Aaaargh!

well the A3 with 76 mm gun (easy spotted as it's much longer than the other ones) was more produced by Chrysler so yeah you could name it to Chrysler or just leave it to Fisher
