British Sherman in a film. Real serial number?

Just curiosity. Saw a (Firefly?) - sorry I'm not up on armour, in a film on the box last night. Supposedly in Korea, but it was filmed in the US going by the end credits, so I assume it was just a US based vehicle. The tank was ostensibly from a British unit and it had a post war style serial number/registration on it. Wondered if by chance it was a genuine 'borrowed' one (marking) - 00 ZR 94 , or a Hollywood invention? Anyone have a list with this number on?

The number group 00ZR01 to 03ZR76 was allocated to Centurions, and the following number, 00ZR95 was a Cent MkV.
