Oh yeah, and the barrel on the third rig does not look long enough to be a 76mm, it looks to me to be a 75mm.

Aboard a Sherman, Private L. C. Byrd photographed manning the 50. cal. near Nancy, France on the 5 Nov 1944. Byrd was killed in action on the 9 Nov 1944, only 4 days after this photograph was taken.

This is a Eyal, was created by Israel to grant views over great expanses of terrain in the days before cheap drones.
This Sherman had its turret removed,and was installed with a hydraulic system capable of raising and observation device to a height of 27m.
At the top of the hydraulically operated arm was a small platform that held the observation crews. I
The system, that was engineered by ''EYAL'' Industries was reguisitioned by the IDF for use as a mobile look-out post along the Suez-Canal front, from the War of Attrition to the Yom Kippur War (1973)
