During the Korean conflict, the most common M4A3 medium tank version was the E8 with the HVSS (horizontal volute spring suspension) system. Some were colorfully marked and had tiger faces in various forms painted on the vehicle's front. These late M4A3E8 tanks had some differences when compared to the WW2 version. A field telephone was added to the right side of the rear plate and a first aid kit on the hull's left. At this stage most of the M4s had added a weather tarp on the gun mantlet. Since the hinges of the heavy grilled engine access doors were too easy to damage, new and heavy duty hinges were introduced to M4A3s and this also appeared on some Korean conflict version M4A3E8 tanks.
