Yup, The older "Honey" tank. The main gun was on a sponson with only about 90 degrees of movement and a seperate small turret with a machine gun above the main turret. They used one of those for an old Bogart movie about WWII in North Africa.
I think Theo's right as it looks like an early M4 Sherman with cast hull and 75mm gun. The M3 Lee/Grant would have had a 37mm gun in the turret and I can't see one. The M3/M5 Stuart or Honey didn't have a cast hull. The similar design of the running gear for all three types causes confusion. word verification: lwlee !
