No Signals Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 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?

Adrian Barrell Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I think 00ZR94 was a Centurion. Shermans were in 62ZR20 to 65ZR89, 43ZV89 to 43ZV97 and 15ZV86 to 20ZV27. Not all of these may have been Shermans and there may be other numbers. Edited February 1, 2013 by Adrian Barrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Signals Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks Adrian. Made up number then! I know just enough about armour to recognise the basic differences between the two types :embarrassed:, just that the gun was a bigger one (75mm) - making me think Firefly. Result! and so quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number group 00ZR01 to 03ZR76 was allocated to Centurions, and the following number, 00ZR95 was a Cent MkV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
