And the back tank IS a US M24. The tank on the Sherman as well as the front tank in the museum shot is a Japanese
Type 95 "Ha-Go".

If you go to Kanchanaburi in Thailand you can follow the story of "The Bridge on the River Kwai". Kanchanaburi is on the river, right where that bridge was.
Down a side street, backing onto the river is a museum. Lots of interesting stuff, including what are supposed to be the remains of the original timber bridge.
They also have an interesting collection of motorcycles behind glass. All of them have been painted green and have the word "Japanese
" on them. One of these is a BSA Bantam?, another I would reckon is a Zundapp sidecar outfit.
Lots of interesting guns in cases as well: Colt Lightnings, Spencers, Winchesters, Muratas, Enfields, all a bit scruffy but interesting nonetheless.
The military cemetery is sobering, but beautifully kept.
