I need help identifying the tracks mounted on the front of this Cromwell.



You can just make out the chevron track, 3 abreast, 4 links in length. The only thing that would fit is 3 sets of steel chevron track for a Stuart. Sherman is too wide, can only fit 2.

There are 4 to 6 other sections of track that I just can't figure out.
The one to the left of the mg looks to be another section of Cromwell track along with the one just under the drivers view port. The one across the 3 sets of Stuart track, the one running up to the right of the mg, and the ones to the out sides near the fenders are unknown.

I just purchased a couple of track sets which I thought were the correct ones, turns out they just won't work, incorrect fit.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Any guess at this point is also needed.
Thanks for your time,
Bob

The one across the front/above the three chevron links looks like a link from a King Tiger

I can't see the others good enough

Gday Bob
That has to be T-48 Sherman tracklink strung across the bottom... The rubber chevrons weren't found on Stuarts as far as I know... Just the T-16, which were plain block links. FYI, the Stuarts track width was 29.5 cm, if this can help you to scale the links to the Cromwell...
Cheers
Brad
