Re 75mm gun Sherman's: differences us to British mostly internal.

If you are an exacting detailed modeler, there are some small external differences, but on the battlefront models, you won't see most of those details.

 

Firefly not used by us, as far as I know

"Firefly-tank

 

By February 1945, some 2,000 Sherman Fireflies had been built and British, Commonwealth and Polish armoured units,..."

Btw, if there is enough storage/kit and/or camouflage on the tanks, almost impossible to see unit/national markings.

So it is easy for your Sherman's to be any allied unit in western front or Italy.

Good to know,ill just paint them as per the British color scheme as I think its a green and the US army had several shades of green they used anyway.

As for universally used tanks in this Flames of War game rules,  

 

All the 75mm gun turret Shermans (british sherman I,II,III,V, US shermans m4,m4a1,m4a3,m4a3(late), and the russian lend lease 75mm) look pretty similar and can be universally used. All the turrets are the smaller squatter, rounder looking ones.

 

All the 76mm gun turret Shermans (US m4a1(76), m4a3(76), and the russian 85mm) can be universal, though the Russian 85mm barrel is slightly bigger that the 76mm, they are still about the obvious longer length and the turrets are the same. All the turrets are the longer more oval looking ones.

 

You can mix & match the different 75mm or the different 76/85mm but its harder to proxy the 75mm as 76/85mm & vice-versa.

 

Then you have the specific shermans. that don't work so well in the univeral tank concept

 

Firefly VC - British only

Easy Eight - US only

Jumbo - US only
