What variants of Sherman did the NZ Div use?

[Dave Homewood]

Which variants of the M4 Sherman did the New Zealand Division's tank units use in Italy in WWII?

I know they used the Sherman Firefly with the 17 Pounder gun, but what other variants did they have? Does anyone have a list? And which units they belonged to?

The New Zealand Armoured division used M4A2 (Sherman III) and later in the war, limited numbers of 17 pound Sherman IC, IB, and VC tanks. The NZ engineers in March 1945 used 2 Sherman Kangaroos, and 4 Sherman dozers. The book "The Camouflage and Markings of the Sherman in New Zealand Service 1943-1945" is a good reference guide.

Also these web articles are full of info about NZ Shermans:
