The pic is taken at Ver-sur-Mer, at the intersection of the D514 and the "Herbage des Pres". I am sure Geoff Leese can tell you more.
But, who coloured this original BW picture? Pretty terrible if you ask me. I guess the "artist" didn't spot the triple 20mm Crusader in the field as he just painted it as green as the grass next to it! Did Reuters colour the pic and than claim copyright? Here is the pic from the IWM collection:  source: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205201965 Caption: A Cromwell Mk V tank of 4th County of London Yeomanry, 22nd Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division, leads a column of armour and soft-skin vehicles inland from Gold Beach, Normandy, 7 June 1944.

The lead tank was knocked out at Villers Bocage.
