Just to put a line under this one before Tom hits us with another. The only other picture of Contentious that I have seen. From a nice little book purchased at Beltring.

Re: Name that tank!
By any chance would that be an original model T-34 with the L-11 gun?

Nope. Look at the tracks.

Re: Name that tank!
It is the T 32, forerunner of the T 34.

Re: Name that tank!
What's wrong with this picture, (and a good reason not to trust what you find on the internet)

Re: Name that tank!
Wrong on 2 levels Skunk, good find.
Neither a Panther, nor is a Panther a 'Mark IV'...
Though what on Earth happened to that Tigger I can't imagine!
it's not just the internet though, I have a book with a picture captioned 'KV1's race to the attack' (or similar)... One has a hole right through the turret, and the other has no tracks  .
Cheers,
Adam.

Re: Name that tank!
I'd guess that these are Pz I training vehicles (judging from the suspension) made up to look a bit like Shermans. I'd assume they were intended for use in antitank training but have been pressed into combat service with some sort of weapon (PAW 600?) installed.

Re: Name that tank!
This "Thingy" with some other field modifications ?
or something the Poles put together to support their Warsaw uprising in 44 (probably not).

That's what I figured too. I've no idea where or when. But PzKpfw I chassis, certainly. As for armed and pressed into combat, not sure.
Take it T.A. |

Re: Name that tank!
The background is the same, the "Gomers" are the same, but the vehicles are different.
Look at the position of the track compared to the front of the hull, and along the boogies, color as well. One has a piece of track on the front plate, ropes/cables along the side.
An experiment, "Photo-shopped" to appear as a combat vehicle?
I give up.
