There is other Photo below, there is a plate in front of the vehicle, but only a local can go and read it.
You can check at page 4 of:
http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Lee_Grant.pdf

It was no "Lancer", it was a local modification of M3 chassis.

In 1971 it was not in service, because I have seen Army reports of the fighting, and they talked that "the remaining old 17 Pounder towed guns" were at the West.

Thanks
The Indian version on page 21 is interesting as well

ALTHOUGH.......when you view http://www.warbirds.in/galleries/wr/...or/M3-Grant-02

the comment is "An M3 Lee tank on display at the entrance of the MEG Center at Ulsoor. Note the fake gun restoration to the Hull!"

and certainly, the turret gun is not an M6 37mm gun
