Dragon are supposed to be issuing a late production M4A2 with a 'bonus' set of the plank/concrete applique sported by the M4A3s used on Iwo Jima.

Eduard makes several PE sets for the Italeri Marine Corps Sherman. I'm waiting on the Dragon kit, though, to see if the upgrades are still necessary. They probably will be, since Dragon will not likely include the hardware a standard PE upgrade kit does (latches, hooks, etc.).

For more information, see here (Eduard shows the instructions as an Adobe PDF file, so you can see what you get, unlike Voyager or Griffon with their often misleading photo illustrations):
