| M4A2 Sherman |
| M4A2 |
| The M4A2 entered service with the early small hatch hull, armed with the 75mm turret. Early versions of this tank had a bolted 3-piece final drive housing (nose piece), and direct vision slots in the front hull. The direct vision slots were removed fairly early, and the nose piece eventually converted to the single-piece cast nose of two styles. |

| M4A2 (75) |
| Some M4A2s were built with the late 47° big-hatch hull, and yet retained the 75mm M4 turret and dry-stowage. These were mostly for the use of the US Marines, but some also saw action as lend-lease tanks to the Soviet Union. |
