US M3 tank in British desert colors. The M3 was the first US produced wartime tank and while it was welcomed by the British, it had some less than ideal features.
While the US did use both variants of the M3, this later "Grant" variant, as well as the earlier "Lee" variant, are more heavily associated with the British, who used them early on in the desert. They continued to use them until the end of the war in Southeast Asia.
In the photograph, the M7 Self Propelled Gun is to the right of the M3.
