Shermans with some kind of stretched trunnion for mounting an improved gun?
Not sure what the other vehicles are, but I see what appears to be a Mortar tube sticking out of vehicle # 2141, and the vehicle behind the 2nd sherman appears to have a radar, so a fire-finder support vehicle for a mobile mortar battery?
Ok, back to the Sherman.
M-50? Same High Vel 75mm gun from the French AMX-13 tank?

Nope.
Got it.

The other vehicles are Piranas?
I stand by my assessment on them, Mortar Vehicle, and C3 or Counter-battery radar vehicle?
NS

M-60 (HVMS)
M-60 is an Israeli modification of the M-50 and M-51 variant of the Sherman main battle tanks. In this version, the French gun is replaced by a 60mm HVMS gun, for use as a heavy support vehicle, and the engine is replaced with a variant of the same engine used in the Stingray tank.
Israeli HVMS (Hyper Velocity Medium Suppor) 60mm gun (as on M113 HVMS APC) was fitted in Sherman tanks that Israeli supplied to Chilean army. The HVMS gun was a small 60mm gun that provided high velocity kinetic energy projectiles to penetrate unheard of amounts of armour at considerable ranges.
