    Panzerkampfwagon FT-17 or 18 (Renault FT 17/18)?

    Or maybe the two flying saucers just visible at the very top of the image.

    Inspired by the last pic... Something a bit more modern.

    Clue: the majority of vehicles in the last round's image, and because it couldn't have the same name as a heli.

    And as I'm pretty confident with that, what's this?

    Trickier than I thought, obviously an M26 Pershing but not the usual T35 Flamethower Tank.
    I found this handy document which explains it thus In 1953, the Chemical and Radiological Laboratories (CARL) and the Ground Munitions Division, Edgewood Arsenal developed a flamethrower vehicle that used an improvised 3/4 inch armor plate miniturret and a Canadian "Iroquois" flame gun. The tank was modified in three days to show how quickly an obsolete tank could be converted to a flame tank. The experiment used the same tank that had been used for the T35 tests.

    Nowhere can I find an official designation.

    Much clearer shots than Mine, Bod.
    I can't quite picture the scale of the thing, considering that M26 chassis it must have been a big bugger, and interestingly proportioned without a turret.
    Over to you.

    1917 Ehrhardt Panzerkraftwagen? Sometimes called V4, though that looks more like a prototype/version number than an actual designation.

    That is the 75mm HMC (Howitzer Motor Carriage) T-18

    Built by Firestone in December 1941 it arrived at APC in May only to find out it had already been cancelled.
