Alex Hill over on ML found this very interesting film clip on the British Pathe site:

It shows a train loaded w/M4A2s (75 d, 47 degree hull) along with Cromwells and a few 6pdr Valentines. It had been said that only a four Cromwells were sent for evaluation purposes only. In this strip, we see many more than that. Very cool find!
