Correction of the exact number of the machine which was unloaded  at  ORAN  port  (North africa .)

good understanding between Army and Navy.

NEWS 

from a friend

 port  photo taken at CARDIFF  port   -(GB)  modified by me with my MAC  magnifying glass and colorized on the  net 

But nothing for the 6 star

Yes I saw your videoS    a few weeks ago    good job   and nice toy 

   (and a caress to kitty) 

Bob  !!!  I am very  very   sorry  but impossible to see a crescent around the star  BUT for me (and many  Américan  people  certainly )  it's  the US ARMY emblem whose  white circle  (or   yellow  for 1941)   has been ""erased "by time. A

And the photo is distorted  by the fold.

and I saw your   small  machine gun    on shelves 

mine is there

are you speaking really  of OMAN  ???????????? or ORAN    (finger error on keyboard  maybe)

the tractor is  an U.S  with 5 points  white star  and  in Algéria  1943 the flag was french flag   without star.

Now since 1962 algérian flag has a red star  between a crescent moon leaning to the right  while yours are straight
