Wurger,
What is that?

…from June 6th, 1944.
Sharp eyes will note that is not an M4, but an M10.
Interestingly, the pic credits it to The British (they're coming! they're coming!
).
That means the gun shown is more likely a 17 pounder, rather than a 3" Naval Gun.

That isn't a 17pd. A 17pd had a much longer thinner barrel.
That's a soviet T-35 tank designed in 30' and introduced in 1933.

It looks like the tanks we used to draw as kids, with three turrets.

...but wasn't that the change the British made to the M10, when lent them some?

Not all the time. I thought that all were converted but clearly some were used in the original form because that is definitely not a 17pd.

Well, here's a Sherman Firefly...

...hard to tell with the muzzle brake attached, but its definitely a longer barrel.
You seem pretty sure, so I will agree on the basis that I just don't know enough about the two guns to make a better judgement call.
The former pic shows a 3" M7 and NOT a 17 pounder.
