Tim, It's funny that I did see the picture before, but I was too focussed on the cupola that I completely missed the Smoke discharger!
It's also featured here on the forum in the thread on the cupola:
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=26791

it's a picture from the Canadian Public Archives, pa159252

Steve also published it in the book "Camouflage & Markings of Canadian Armored Vehicles in World War Two: Part 2", along with the picture of the Firefly Hybrid posted earlier, which is credited as "DND Army S-49827"

Also attached is a picture from the Amsterdam city archives of a Sherman V with Smoke discharger on the way to the liberation parade.
