The Tank?

I can't recognize the tank in this movie. The open top of the turret makes me think of the M-10 tank destroyer, but the shape of the turret and hull are all wrong for that. Is it a a British vehicle? If anyone knows, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

It's an M18 tank destroyer, sometimes nicknamed the "Hellcat." The shape of the engine deck lid, the carriage frame, and the rear lights are all distinctive. M18s of the 705th TD Battalion played a key role in supporting the 101st at Bastogne.
