The one in the foreground (a Mk.V, I believe) has Churchill track, as well as Sherman track links on the turret and around the hill M.G. port. Interestingly it also appears to be missing a wheel bogie.

Well we went on Thursday when it decided to piss down :(
As novice ground-walkers, we managed a wander round the Hartenstein grounds, walk some of the Northern perimeter, and visit the cemetery before the rain took it's toll on Mrs Dalek, so we hit the Lombok and then Arnhem and the bridge.
