Paul,
Not all tanks were named for Indian towns. I believe only the ones form the 255th (?) Indian were so named. Many others had no visible names.
Also, the frames and chicken wire on the back come in many shapes and sizes. The one you show, another design were it goes all the way to the back of the hull, and I believe yet another design where its only on the back of the hull and not in the middle. Equally common seems to be no frame other than in front as I'm showing on my blog.
Finally, as you'll see in a chapter or two, these tank commonly had one or two customer made stowage boxes on the rear hull. I've never seen them on a Sherman anywhere else.
