Lucky you, the nearest sherman to me is at the Royal Australian Armoured
Corp museum at Puckapunyal (approx 8 hours away)

I would greatly appreciate it if you could get pictures of how/and where the
armour has been welded
Send direct if you wish, and I will include them on my website

It's probably some variant of the Sherman 76 which was equipped with the 
76mm M1A1 gun instead of the 75mm M3 gun.
