- the_shadockno, the earliest M4A4 did have Direct Vision, but the latter ones didn't have this feature.
You will find early M4A4s with front appliqué armour plates covring the DV feature, and also M4A4s with front appliqué armor plates, but that never had DV.
However, one particularity is that M4A4s never had 47° glacis and large hatches (even the ones which you can find with HVSS), they were always built with 57° glacis, smal protruding hoods.

I don't think there were any production M4A4 HVSS tanks. There was at least one experimental HVSS M4A4 (It survives at the Ordnance Museum) but I believe by the time HVSS entered production the M4A4 had been replaced on the production lines. That isn't to say that in all the various rebuild programs some were not converted to HVSS.
