    Not quite sure what to make of this...

    Perhaps - "Toronto Pam" - I guess it could be another tank with the same name, or it had a time with the Canadians either prior to or after the 4th7thRDG.

    Or some error somewhere perhaps.

    Edit - There's a large selection of George Rodgers "Tank Recovery" photos here...

    Search — Google Arts & Culture

    In large part they consist of multiple pictures of "Toronto Pam" being recovered and repaired, however a few other pictures of other tanks also sit in the same set.

    There is one here with a "B" Squadron "square" - quite a "light coloured one"... so presumably not 4th7thRDG which tends to come out quite dark...

    Annoyingly the page provides a link - but the link goes to a prior picture... :-(

    Trying... Tank Recovery - George Rodger - Google Arts & Culture (nope)

    Finally.... this is the one with the "square"... tac sign...
