The stowage configuration on this tank is unique to the M51 Sherman. Many had track links mounted on the turret in front of the smoke grenade generators, two stowage boxes on either side of the hull, and a gun lock (on the rear of the tank) made from tubing rather than steel profiles. Note that the stowage boxes are not the same size. The M51's stowage has a front box similar in size to the box on the M50 but the rear box is shorter than the front box. (Compare with the M50 on the right in this photo.)
