I don't wish to be awkward but (despite the caption) the first link is to a mark IV not a Mark I

If the tank was at Bourlon, then it was not Deborah

I think that the unditching rails may provide a clue

The tank in the German photo is a male, while the one in the other photo is a female.

Good point - I completely overlooked that and should know better

Does go to illustrate to treat any thing on Wiki (leaks or not) with extreme caution until verified by other means. Picture one is very probably one of the Mk IVs in the sunken road approaching Bourlon. It may well have re appeared as a German Beutepanzer

The Wiki-tank is F5 Fervent, a Mark IV Male. Serial number unknown. Deborah is, well, Deborah D51 serial 2620, a Mark IV Female.
