The museum at Camp Shelby has several pieces that share lots with current storage yards. I am positive that what you see belongs to the museum there. Its a nice museum at that.

Default Sexton verses M7

The Sexton was the Canadian manufactured equivelant of the M7. The M7 had 105MM gun and pulpit machine gun. The Canadian Sexton had the standard Commonwealth 25 pound howitzer and bow machine gun. A google search will show the differances.

You'd think if it was part of a display it would be on a pad, not sitting in the dirt, and it looks a little "threadbare" sitting there. Hope they're not doing with those what they did with the amphibs the Marine Base in San Diego had. TRAGIC. And alot of those were one of a kind units besides. Last I heard most were in a scrap depot in Twenty-Nine Palms.

I got the 411 on that vehicle when I was there last year.
It is a self propelled gun..can't remember the nomenclature.
It is a "gate guardian" that was sent there to be painted.
The refurb shop that usually does the painting is busy rebuilding M900 series vehicles so the vehicle sits there until the shop has time to paint it
The Col. that runs the facility gave me the nickle tour and I got to see some real cool stuff.
