I am researchinhg the POST WW2 Shermans thnatr France delivered to the IDF in the 50s. I came across a reference of French M4A3s being re-engined with Cont. Radial Engines from M4/M4A1 gun tanks. Is this so?
If so it would match with reports of M50s and M51s with 47 degree late hulls and Radial engine decks.

Thanks, as always
