I have a feeling it was already knocked out.

[gtodan]

Definitely staged, as most.

[CINDERS]

Definitely no dust clouds behind that Bazooka!!!!

[13Echo]

Perhaps but the explosion cloud on the tank looks like a fresh hit.

There doesn't appear to be any track on the left front drive of the tank. I'm guessing it was a knocked out tank and possibly used on the day to field test the bazookas' effectiveness.

I was going by the gun being fully depressed...

Exactly, that is a hallmark of out of action equipment, that or raised fully skyward. Anything else could be mistake from a distance as still fighting.

That too.

Looks like the track nearest the camera is missing and just the front sprocket is visible?
