It’s a m4a3 with a 17lb (firefly) I know it’s not the right model but I hope to rectify ImageImageitImage

None of which are an M4A3 conversion. They are all M4's, the closest being a hybrid M4 with a cast glacis, the rest are either regular small hatch M4's or M4A4's.

Only 1 turret style was used, the low bustle 75mm. No large hatch hulled M4a3's (or M4's for that matter) would have been fitted with that turret.
