M3 Lee Medium Tank (multiple)

I photographed these M3 Lee examples at the National Museum of Military Vehicles near Dubois, Wyoming.

The M3 Lee and M3 Grant are essentially the same (the Grant was modified for British requirements in North Africa). The primary difference is that the Grant features a lower-profile, redesigned turret (for a 37mm gun) that accommodates the radio and has no top cupola, whereas the Lee has a taller, boxier turret with a 37mm gun and an additional machine gun turret on top.

The M31 Recovery Vehicle was based on the same M3 chassis.
