Never seen this one before. 10 minutes in, they encounter a Panther. It’s actually an M10.

Kind of ironic that the Germans did the complete opposite during the war.
A Panther pretending to be an M10 tank destroyer. Imagine that.

The film “Panther” is actually an M36 with plates added around the turret, not an M10.
The Sherman fighting it, CALIF JANE, has E9 suspension on a small-hatch hull with a full set of appliqué armour as well as a vision cupola. I can’t make out what type of Sherman it is, though.
And at 10:53 a guy jumps/falls off, but at 10:56 crawls alongside a different tank (this one has extended end connectors that the first one lacks) but at 11:01 he tries to get back behind the first one, and a few seconds later does so behind the other 
(Of course, this is like when you’re familiar with a city in which a movie was shot, so that when watching it, you see people walk around a corner and end up in a different street in another part of town entirely.) That second tank is an M4A3.

It looks like it may even be a direct-vision tank, but it’s hard to make out.
The “Panther” is an M36B2, BTW. At 10:46, just before it’s hit by the WP shell, you can see it has extended end connectors on the inside of the track.
