Some of the markings options in Jeff's post ring a bell...

Thank Jeff. I had found those 
Frenchy thanks. I'll go with those portrayed in the last two photos. I notice that there are no shipping stencils that you commonly see on Shermans. Maybe repainted?

Looking at the pics it seems as if the head light on the right has been replaced by a bigger lamp and the headlight guard removed. Anyone got more info on this.
It looks like a truck headlight.

I'd bet its off a T-26 or T-34 tank OR a GAZ I think theyre all about the same size. I have some Russian lang books that show the same series plus a couple more shots. I will try to scan them for you and get the unit info... I wanna say that those tanks are from an independent tank unit.

Indeed. They belonged to the 193rd Independent Armoured Regiment.
