Here are a couple more, featuring LVTs w/Jeep Ambulances, Churchill, Shermans and Cromwell.

No idea what the original captions were, they were sent to me by someone else.

Looks to me as a Sherman sort of undercarriage. look at the 2 flanges of the 3 piece final drive housing.

Here's another picture of the same scene.
