David: Those panels at Princess Auto were for the twin diesel engine Shermans. When the army pulled tha packs they also included the control panels. Princess used to sell the engines, but the control panels languished in the yard. I restored one of the panels back inthe 80s and eventually gave it to the Jr Ranks mess at the Fort Garry Horse, who operated these tanks until the early 70s.

Here’s the ad for those engines from the 1964 Princess auto catalogue.

Default M3a2(76)w?

Rob, would they have been the M3A2(76)W that the Canadians purchased just post-WW2? Thanks, Mike.: EDIT: should be M4A2(76)W ... yea, I typed in a tank that never existed! Ooops.

Roger that , it was the post war Shermans.
I can't imagine a 76mm on a Stuart would do much aside from destroying one tank (the Stuart of course).
