BTW: Ad went ok Tony. Got a couple of leads. And was offered a Centurion. Bit too heavy for me though.
Well I don't think its Grant because I think the M3 Medium drivers seat has a 2 piece seat, a pan and a back with seatbelt anchors welded on the back where yours looks to be one-piece. The M3 Medium has a variety of seats and I think the drivers pan and back is very similar to the 37mm gunners pan and back. But I'm interested to be edjamacated. The 75mm gunner sits on a agricultural implement looking seat which is clamped to a crooked pole which itself is sticking out from the 75mm rotator, The radio operator in the Lee sits behind and to left of the driver on a small bench-like seat, the loader and possibly commander up in the basket have fold down round seats and I'm guessing the 75mm loader sits on the 75mm square ammo chest or maybe on the right sponson where the side door is - or just hangs on to anything for dear life.
