Q.1. Did British/Commonwealth Sherman Fireflies retain the siren mounted beside the left front headlight and guard when converted into Fireflies?

Q.2. Were the Pioneer Tools mounted on the rear hull held down with leather straps and buckles, or web straps, and if leather, was the leather left in a natural colour or tinted a green?

1. No - these were removed

2. I am assuming webbing straps for my VC restoration... but this is assumption at this stage.. I have not got far enough to really care about tying stuff down on the outside of the hull!
