Are the tank and the half-track being used as sight screens?
Not a tank - it’s a Priest Self Propelled Gun (basically an artillery gun that is on a converted Sherman tank chassis)
For whatever reason, the British were in the habit of naming self propelled guns like this with ecclesiastical names for some years - there was a Bishop, a Deacon, the Abbott, and the Sexton as well

Seen him a few times along Widmore Road.
His brother, Mickey if I remember, used to work in same shop as my mum, at Middle Park.
