IWM Q 8638: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205244476

The front tank one has a large "B" on a dark rectangle on its front horn and the name "Blacklo.." on its front Glacis, probably "Blacklook", 2641; the rear tank also displays the large "B" and appears to carry the serial 2819; the middle female tank (which has a large amount of material on its roof) is moat probably "Bushraner II" , 2872 see 26-Mar entry below,. "Blacklook" may have a small hole in its front glacis.

In IWM Q 8638 the front tank appears to be a male, though this may be an optical illusion, or the tanks may have moved.
