It will need careful balancing to work on Tanks I suspect . BTW the other option on the M3 Sherman is that it actually is a Lee. I already have the UK Grant sprue and it contains all the bits to build a Lee, so it is posssible (probable?) that they will reuse it like they did the Wolverine\Jackson\Achilles sprue Edited by user Thursday, June 22, 2017 7:14:15 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

So no cast hull Sherman then... :-( Edit: I see on a preorder site, they list Tanks49 as the Lee and Tanks47 as the M3A1 Sherman. So maybe it is the cast hull version.

So maybe it is the cast hull version. It makes sense. Does it list a U.S. M3 Stuart? It seems strange not to give the U.S. one.

Of course the UK used Priests as well, they only dropped them when the Sexton became available to harmonise ammunition supply to the Field Regiments

Lots of differences, not just the gun The Sexton used the Ram chassis and had different internal arrangement (driver sat on the opposite side for instance. The M7 Priest used the M3 Lee chassis initially then switched to a Sherman hull (for the A1 IIRC?) . That's not to say they couldn't do both on one sprue as the Lee and the Ram used the same running gear, but you would end up with having to include everything new from tracks up, so its unlikely.
