U.S. Army Signal Corps picture of six tanker crewmen, with a M3 medium tank as the background (British designation "Lee"; U.S. 1st Armored Division), display ammunition for the 75mm M2 gun. The gun's breech is visible in the open hatch behind the tankers. The first tanker (left) is holding a 75mm M61 A.P.C.-T with base fuze. The second man is possibly holding a M72 A.P. round (no ballistic cap); the third man is probably holding a M48 H.E. round; the fourth and sixth men are also holding M61 A.P.C.-T rounds. Note the shipping tubes in the foreground, 3 contain rounds and you can see loading info stenciled on the base of each cartridge case.
