A fair number of Pershings have survived until nowadays. Here are photographs of some of the ones preserved in Europe taken by Luis Fuster. In most of the cases they are M26 or M26A1 used by some European countries and the US forces in Europe during the late 40' and 50'. The only "real" WWII T26E3 is the one preserved in the RAC Museum at Bovington Camp (UK), which probably is the tank sent to the British for evaluation in the second half of 1944 or 1945. This vehicle even carries the all steel single pin T81 tracks typical of the WWII vintage Pershings. Some of the more visible features distinctive of later M26 are a bigger, more squared bulge for the fan between the driver and radio operator hatches, a bigger bulge for the font MG, the relocation of the gun support on the engine deck and a new muzzle brake. The M26A1 carried a new gun with a bore evacuator, as used in the M46 Patton.
