Not quite a mirror of the original inspiration, but typical of the wrecks found in 3rd World Countries.
These tanks weren't made to last, so when they broke down or were knocked out anything that could be removed was usually taken as spare parts. Then the metal salvage guys would pick at the bones.
The torsion bar pins for road wheels were all snapped off on one side and would have been a total time suck to fix, so their disappearance works with this narrative.
EDGE OF EMPIRE
The turret was the earliest M1946 version.
Primed with KONA BROWN gloss and rusted with RED PRIMER.
Production delay due to trying to find the ventilator dome. Had to fashion one from a 1/35th scale Teller mine.
