1: American Locomotive Company, Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York, USA (First hull built – September 1942)
2: U.S. Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Harford County, Maryland, USA (Current location)


This appears to be a standard early-production M4A2 hull (with direct-vision slots) fitted with a Firefly turret, rather than a factory conversion. It was the first M4A2 hull built by American Locomotive (source: J. DeMarco via N. Baumgardner).
