It does suck that Fury is actually an A2 model but they did a very good job to make it look like the Ez8 model.

From what I understand of it, she is identical to an Easy 8 in every way except that she has a diesel engine (A2) instead of a gasoline aircraft engine (A3).

Yeah, that's why they decided to use the A2 model instead of the A3 model, as they look almost completely the same. I got an A2 and Fury in WoT and they look almost completely the same save for some minor differences and the A2 uses a 75mm gun instead of Fury's 76mm.

Actually Fury (the fictional one) which is supposed to be an M4A3(76) w HVSS is practically identical to the one at the museum except for the power pack. The museum one is an M4A2(76) w HVSS which uses twin Detroit diesel engines, Lucy Sue is also an M4A2 and has exactly the same engines (I know the owner so can tell you this as a fact).
The museum Fury is armed with the same M1 76mm main gun as is depicted in the film. Further more the engines used in A3 Shermans are just a huge V8 that was used in numerous other later tanks.
