Hello Colin, thank you for digging out that memo concerning rubber track replacement during vehicle prep for D-Day.
Also that photo of Canadian Shermans operating with early VVSS suspension, that to me is like the proverbial smoking gun. Positive proof that they were acceptable for use in 1944. If I had to make a guess, these could be Sherbrooke Shermans based on the style of radio call sign numbers and size of squadron markings located on the turret storage bin.
regards,
Jack
