Not to mention it's a good looking SP gun with hell of a punch.

The Sexton was criticised at the time as too much vehicle for such a small gun. The post-war Yeramba (Australian Grant plus 25 Pounder) was similarly criticised. The Sexton was an "anglicised" version of the M7 Priest - a Lee chassis with a 105mm howitzer. The M12 SPG - Lee chassis with 155mm M1918 gun had considerably more punch than a Sexton or Priest - there is at least one record of a King Tiger having the turret shot off by a direct fire round from an M12.
There are quite a number of possible models based on the Lee chassis.
