Can we assume that smoke plume is coming from somewhere in front of the lead tank? Nobody seems overly excited, including the tank occupants...

I think so. If it was on fire the crew would be out asap.

Doubt it. Should be some reaction if it was caused by enemy action - eg more distance between tanks and awareness in the men. Whatever the cause, the photo doesn't seem to indicate enemy close by.

I notice that the pistol ports on the sides of the turrets of three of the four tanks are open. Trying to get a little ventilation?
