It says ride "in" the restored Sherman M4A2E8 Tank.

I believe that makes it a Firefly.

Why would "that" make it a Firefly? The M4A2E8 was fitted with a US 76mm gun as standard. This example is most likely one of the 300 or so acquired by Canada after WW2 for training - see Sherman Encyclopedia > Canada.
