I think the phone thing is only for Korea. I know that one of the things to convert the HL Pershing to WWII is to remove the phone at the back as they weren't equip with them then. Pershing being a new tank doesn't have it I doubt that Shermans has it.

I thought the Germans use the turret side/back hatch and pistol port for comm with riders.
