Yep, it's a VVSS with one of the chevron tracks. HVSS would have the
fender skirts.
Lessee, welded hull, single piece cast diff cover, 105mm howitzer,
late pattern mantlet. M4A3 105mm with the Ford GAA engine perhaps?
What's funny was the Iraqi's were being told it was US material and
was standard for what they'd face if our tanks attacked. No wonder
they surrendured in droves.
