Anyone ever seen one or have a picture of one? Curious to know what the range of Ord. numbers are.

Not very many basically an experiment I guess. Story has long been that most were sent to Russia but the remains of several have popped up here in the states.

M3A1E1 then changed to M3A2 (when they thought production might happen) then to M3A1E5 after the directive that all vehicles be gas.

The best information is in the Scout Car chapter of the David Doyle book, imo.
