You sure it wasn't the scorch mark on the right side and the open commanders hatch that clued you in? This turret type had the "slide sideways" hatch rather then the normal "flip up" hatch. When crews abandon tanks, they don't tend to close the hatches behind them. Is a clue to the tank status in many pics.

I've seen 'em before but it's really nice to see 'em as real pictures.
