This is a headlight fitted to a post war Sherman fire observation vehicle based at the Sinsheim museum in Germany.
It is obviously not a standard Sherman light - anyone have any ideas what it could be from?

It looks suspiciously like the ones on the Bradley.
I'm not home right now, but I've got several in my garage for some bike builds I'm doing, and they in my mind they look just like that one.

It is a standardized US vehicle headlight.
