The French text mentions these two pictures are the only known ones showing LVT´s in Normandy, underpinning the hypotheses they were used there.

One of the other pictures in that link show the pair of LVT´s at the Utah Beach Museum. I recall seeing this picture in a 1950´s(?) picture postcard booklet.
