I hate to derail this thread more than already, wait, not I don't!
Have any of you seen the film "Der Tiger"? It is on Amazon as "The Tank" right now.
I heard about it before it came to theaters, and was turned off by the premise/trailers. But figured I'd watch it for free, or when it came to a streaming service I already paid for. Just curious what you thought. No spoilers here if you want to discuss it in detail we can do another thread.

Does anyone know what these two parts are and what color they would have been? AI is telling me the first image is a wooden jack stand. It had no idea what the canister looking thing is. There are two straps on the canister. Tool kit for cleaning rods?

The canister is a fire extinguisher. I have seen them painted red, and painted over with vehicle color.......grey, dark yellow, or camo.
Thanks. It's an odd place to keep a fire extinguisher.

The thing in the first photo is the driver's visor:
The two horizontal parts can slide open (as in this photo I took of Bovington's Tiger when it was newly restored) and closed (as on your part). It would normally be closed in combat, and the driver would have to rely on his single periscope as well as observation by the rest of the crew.
As mentioned, the canister is a portable fire extinguisher.
Oh, and if you want practical tips on how to actually operate a Tiger, see here
