That's an M4A3E8 from C Company, of the 89th Tank Battalion, 25th Infantry Division in 1951, in Korea.
If memory serves me correctly lol.
Well, that's the note I made on that tank a few years ago from a Google search.

So I just purchased a Mato sherman kit and really want to do this paint scheme
Mato Sherman is M4A3(75)W which wasn't used in Korea as far I know. Most of the Shermans there where mentioned above M4A3E8 and M4A3(105) /M4 (105) howitzers.
Indeed, during the conflict, Americans / Japanese in the Pacific, many tanks were painted in this way by the crew. Here is attached a very good link from friend Kaczor, on the Gėnese of the Sherman, right column, a lot of information.
if you use your friend google, searching for "Sherman in the Pacific" should find your happiness https://www.theshermantank.com/
