I would bet that the tank in the background is either a lend-lease M4 "Sherman" or an M10 "Achillies". Which appears to be confirmed by John's link to the battle. Miles, are you going to "copy" the photograph in 3d with your models you are making.
Seems interesting that the Bren and Panther are both pointing towards the photographer. Which might be staged for the photo. But with shifting front lines in a battle anything is possible as the history in the link points out it swayed back and fourth until midnight when the British eventually took control of the town.
