The turret is also very similar, although the radio sticks out of the back in a bustle. The hull is resemblant to that of the M4 Sherman although lacking the bow machine gun (it's actually based off an M4A4).
The muzzle brake on the cannon is also in a spherical shape rather than a horizontal rectangular shape so that is a distinction between the 76 mm cannon and the 17-pounder. The Sherman Firefly is easily distinguishable by its very long gun, even compared to the Shermans with the American 76 mm guns.
