A Matilda Mk 2 Infantry Tank, at latrun tank museum.

Captured Jordanian M47 tank at latrun museum. Note that there is no bow machine gun. It has been taken out and the crew downsized to 4 men instead of 5. this is to allow more ammo storage.

Here is a nice conversion by the Egyptian army- A Sherman tank carrying the oscillating turret of the French AMX-13. This gave the tank improved fire power with the long barrled 75mm main gun, as well as cutting down the crew to 4 men instead of 5(The AMX has an auto loader). The tank was captured by israeli forces in 1956 or 1967.
