Lat34North was astute enough to question GA Cacher about this waymark and they determined that it is a M60 "Patton".
M60 "Patton" (operational)
The M60 tank is a full-track laying heavily armored combat vehicle designed to
provide an improved tank for increased operational range and mobility requiring
a minimum of refueling and servicing and incorporating an improved main
armament.
The army ordered the Chrysler built M60 into production in 1959. The first M60s
entered service with U.S. Army units during the fall of 1960. Most of the
initial production vehicles were sent to Europe to offset the Russian T-54.
Engine: Continental AVDS-1790-2, 12 Cylinder Diesel. Transmission: GMC Allison
