    Bit of chat on Network 54, with slightly crisper, if smaller, pic. Some indications of possible owners.:

    Where it's tracks are naturally has to be speculative without an account of the action. Could be salvaged for something else, either as tracks or extra armour, lying 20' behind if they shredded while going at full chat, or even just not present if it was placed as a static gun after mechanical failure,or towed there as a wreck.

    Parked roughly where the silver car is?

    I did find the coordinates of some tanks in Carentan. Aside from being south the reports indicated Mark II's. I did find the 327 S2 Journal coordinates and they specified 3 Mark III's at 393853. However, this location and ID was from civilian sources which might be why the other report said Mark II which was apparently incorrect. This location is west of where the "Mark II's were located. They were ID'd at the base of the marina.

    Since I can't upload pics, here is the FB link: https://www.facebook.com/109600119062869/photos/a.1103833426306195.1073741904.109600119062869/1103900192966185/?type=3&theater

    Wish I could upload.
