Yep that figure looks handy! Sadly the CAD images show no tool straps yet again - can't anyone make US armour where the tools are actually tied down?

Odd that it has a travel lock on the back deck.
Thats not correct.

Something is definitely off there. I wonder if this has anything to do with the real tank being located and having a different gun, pre-restoration?

Bingo, here’s Cobra King prior to restoration, with a gun travel lock on the rear deck. But, in their defense, the kit description does say two different guns.

Here’s the entire restoration.

The versions with the 76mm still had the travel locks on the front slope.
