Alan,

I had thought that this might be the case with military equipment but I have been assured by someone who knows his Shreman tanks that they were all badged so I live in hope.  He sent me details  of a web site with them on so I could see them.

I am still hoping that somone in the Racine area will  call to see that tank that Malcolm and I saw in a museum near there - Malcolm posted a picture on this site.

There is an M24 "Chaffee" tank in the museum in Devon (Bovington???).   MH was one of the manufacturers of this model as we have seen.  Just need someone to call in and investigate
