What is the circled modification of the M1A2 called?

I am aware that the image is of a fictional print of the Abrams, but i could've sworn i saw this on a real photo of an M1 somewhere, and it's pretty interesting to me.

Of course, as always, i hope that this is within your field of knowledge, and i don't expect you to spend days looking into it. If you doubt it's existence, that'll be enough of an answer for me.

@i-identify-tanks-in-posts I got the military book! As it turns out, my grandfather first served in the "35th Mobile tank repair unit" (rough translation from "35 Ruchomy Warsztat Naprawy Czołgów") in 1962. Then, in 1963 he finished tanker training and joined the "3rd Berlin motorized unit" (rough translation from "3 Berliński Pułk Zmechanizowany"), where he served until 1967, when he got moved to reserve...

I suppose this narrows the search alot. If you think that it's not worth digging deeper, i wouldn't mind ending it here! The whole Suwałki claim was probably my father misreading my grandpa, when he meant that he was once on the military base, presumably servicing the tank shown in the yesterday's photo... Or, the more fun scenario, is that the tank on the photo was the one my grandpa drove in the 3rd Berlin Motorized Unit... I've attached all photos i think might help, and i translated the book wherever i was 100% certain of what it said...

Can anyone help me in locating this **specific** T-34-85?

From what i know, it served in the Polish army, before the 1980's, and the man on this photo is my (R.I.P.) grandfather, who was deployed in the Suwałki region... Since the specific serial number is very visible, i want to know what was the tank's fate. Was it scrapped? Was it preserved somewhere?

TW: pessimism, anti-furry shenanigans

i get that i'm a hater and all, but jesus CHRIST. Changed (the 2016 game) has literal RAPE, implied CHILD RAPE, and furries will make THE RAPIST of it all look like a cute protagonist because his character design is nice... Call me a hater, call me a nerd even, but i think some people online are just painfully ignorant, and it makes me mad.

To be fair, anti-furries in strong majority are no better in their choice of characters to meatride. 9/10 times it will be a character that has no correlation, nor reason to hate on furries. For example: Doom slayer. What i wanna say, is that both sides of the furry vs furry hater conflict suck, snapback to reality. Not all furries, hell, not all anti-furries are bad, but a strong majority is.
