Just a remark about the markings for the Free French Sherman "Vendome". The typeface used for the word "Vendome" should be different on each side :

But you can hide Toro mistake

Henri-Pierre,

If you look carefully at the tip of the "V" just visible over the logs on the third picture, you can see it appears to be as "skinny" as the one on the left side view on the first picture.

Could the tank or markings have been repainted at some point?

Yes Hervé, I've noticed that as well, and also the fact that the tank in the second picture appears to be in a better shape than in the two other pics....Maybe this could mean that this one would be the original "Vendome" which would have been repainted later, but I don't see the reason why

I've just checked out Chars-francais and all the pictured Sherman from the same unit (5e RCA) show the same typeface as on Toro sheet...

Did the Vendome survive until the end of the war or was it replaced by a new one?
