FT restoration in Poland

One of the Afghan scrapyard wrecks.

 

I thought that the French built FT had wooden front idlers, but this one has a steel one, like the US built M1917. Did the French change to steel idlers in later production?

As a point of interest, my local garage, which has a carriage wheelwrights department, has recently made some wooden front idlers for Renault tanks currently under restoration.

That's interesting. I always thought it was the American version that had the wooden wheels & the French used steel......Learn something new everyday.
