Um, thanks... But unfortunately the only info I had before to differentiate the M84s was the RN - did you happen to get a pic of the side of the hull (if it was painted on there)?

Hey Gary...

Will Charles L. be moving with the library? How about the rest of the staff?

None of the staff, except for the director Len Dyer, will be going to Benning. Len will be the new director of the museum there.

Actually I think AJ's Hummel photo is more of mid- 50's. I believe the series of photos he has were primarily done in the early to mid 1950's, not too long after the museum first opened (1949). That is based on how the exhibits are configured based on numerous exhibit hall changes from 1949 - 1955(ish).

Don

I would say 1960's

Ok, I've set it as '1965 (Estimated)'.
