Nice, do you have any info on the Tank in the 2nd and 3rd photos, it's unusual to have the drive sprocket at the front.

Not unusual for a Chaffee.

The Sherman also had the front drive but that is not the profile of a Sherman, More like a Patton. But looking closely it does appear to be a Chaffee.
I am guessing that in the UK you would have to be independently wealthy not only to own the tank but just to feed the damn thing!!!!! I know in England they love to show off these things and drive them around.

That's correct, it's a Chaffee M24 light tank.
German Tiger and Panther also had the front drive.
