There were two different Shermans named “TOBRUK”. Most of the times when a tank was lost, the crew kept the same name for a new one, adding #: “ZEMSTA II” or “RYCERZ I” but not in this case.
First “TOBRUK” was Sherman Mk III (M4A2) 75 mm with early M3 VVSS and add on 1” armour plates (Dry St.), in Olive Drab. The photo in “Polish Shermans vol. I” is dated Winter 1944/45 .
Another one (re-equipment 1945/46?) is clearly Sherman Mk II (M4A1) 75 mm late, cast-in-thickening (Dry St.)
In Olive Drab too, photo dated 1946.
It’s up to you now which Sherman you want to make.
Regards
Janusz
