pic # 1 2nd from end Rt track has a walkie talkie may be in contact with arty strange they are not buttoned up
#2 same again not buttoned up!
#3 could be fording equipment as it appears to be some sort of manifold at the rear of the tank perhaps to get across a reef as it is not a DD (Duplex Drive no props) tank that had the canvas skirt for the D - Day landings no commander would let you go out there with 400 liters of high octane gas in that spot one errant round and straight onto a hot engine Ronson Lighter time again
