Nicely done.Β Β
For continuity purposes, there should be thin blue arrows from the Mk. VIII to the M3 (Reflecting the side turret usage).Β And one between the M1897A and the M10 (based on their designation - AT role), also between the MBT70 and the Abrams (because of the influencing role of the MBT70).Β
Also there is some influence of the M24 Chaffee on the M26 Pershing, (having similar automotive suspension units).
And, possible branches from the T30:Β M107,Β M109 series, M110 (mobile artillery - but not technically tanks).

Nice one for the American tanks.
Though the M3 is called by Grant by the British, the American name for that tank isΒ M3 Lee. The Grant (or Grant Command) is one of the British variants when they installed extra radio antennas and map tables over the guns (or with dummies) on the M3.

Well, to be honest, the shared a similar design to the M48 Patton medium tank. So, it was nicknamed the Patton.

There was also the M6, T29, and M103 heavy tanks.
And the 90mm armed Hellcat had the turret of a Jackson.
But pretty great chart!
