I am building the website for the Grizzly/Firefly restoration project and you can see the first few shots at www.ecifirefly.com

This is a data block stamped onto the back of the armoured radio bustle

This is a flare box with red/white/green painted on the inside corresponding to the colour of the flare.

Gar ... where are the signal boxes mounted? I can't quite tell from the picture. It looks like it is close to an air filter on the rear engine access panel. Is this common on all British sherman?

...the gunner's periscope is on the left in the pic. Note the linkage going down from it to the gun mount.

...and so that box is on the right side towards the front. There's that big rubber pad beside it which is interesting.
