Crocodiles at Brest

Just been reading about the battle for Brest in September '44.
The Americans asked for help from the British 79th Armd Div.
They sent B Sqn 141 RAC (the Buffs).
Why didn't the Americans have their own flamthrower tanks?
Did they have to borrow any of our "Funnies" again?
Anyone find any photos of Crocodiles helping the Americans?
EDIT here. Lone Sentry: 29 Let's Go! The Story of the 29th Infantry Division -- WWII G.I. Stories Booklet

I see there is a Croc as a memorial there.
