My H/L Sherman came with those tracks fitted , so yes , they will fit.
Upgrading the stock gears to black metal is a given as the plastic or pot metal ones wont last long.

Crikeys mate , I got it a couple Christmases ago from one of our Australian dealers , who unfortunately , no longer stock Shermans.
The tracks I mean , the metal gearboxes are everywhere.
Check out both , ozarmour.com and tankarmy.com.
Both have a large amount of spare parts.
