Perhaps they are extra storage for the flamethrower fuel

Early form of wading trunks ??? Satans were converted from M3A1 diesels.

The box on top of the engine deck looks like an extra bin for track grousers (on the Satan closest to the camera).

I'd ask the guy in the foreground with the helmet on......

Actually, I'd have to go with the aux. fuel juice theory. Those M3's were rather dimunitively sized buggers, and one can only assume they would have to have extra juice stored somewhere to lengthen their 'in-service' time...........wouldn't one?

Tread.

I mean the Churchill Croc. is a massive tank and it used a trailer!

Also....if I was going to have large canisters of extremely flammable liquid stored anywhere on my vehicle.....the REAR would be the place!
