The cast hull Sherman in the video that was the first one hit was an M4A1(76)W, which began production in January 1944 at Pressed Steel Car Company; 3,426 were built by July 1945, when the final Sherman of any type rolled off the production line.

The tank was presumably one of the 120 issued to the 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions in July 1944 prior to the breakout from Normandy. 51 were given to each division, and 19 were put into reserve. That makes 121, but it appears 120 were issued; there was a typo or multiple typos in the original document. Such is the nature of wartime; the monthly production totals for an entire order consisting of 1,000 M4A1(75) Shermans manufactured by Pressed Steel Car Company is, insofar as I know, absent in the master post-war government document that was supposed to have catalogued such things! The 2nd Armored Division entirely re-equipped select medium tank companies in their two armored regiments, while the 3rd Armored Division allocated two M4A1(76)W to most of their medium tank platoons. It also could have been a replacement tank, but radial-engined Shermans were relatively uncommon in this regard unless absolutely necessary, as the Army had already standardized on the M4A3 and its Ford GAA gasoline engine.
On 3rd Armored's Pershings;
The T26E3s were delivered to the 559th Ordnance Maintenance Battalion on February 9th, and split up evenly, with 10 each going to the 3rd and 9th Armored Divisions of First Army. 3rd Armored Division split their 10 T26E3s evenly among their two armored regiments; select companies each received one T26E3. Companies in the 3rd Armored Division that were known to have received a T26E3 included:
- Company E, 32nd Armored Regiment (the famous Cologne Pershing)
- Company D, 33rd Armored Regiment (destroyed two "Tigers")
- Company E, 33rd Armored Regiment (destroyed a "Tiger" at 900 yards and two Panzer IVs at 1,200 yards)
- Company F, 33rd Armored Regiment (disabled, killing the loader and gunner; returned to service)
- Company H, 33rd Armored Regiment (destroyed; crew survived)
The 9th Armored Division gave 5 to the 14th Tank Battalion, who formed a 4th platoon in Company A. The other five went to the 19th Tank Battalion, who put one in Company A and gave a pair to Companies B and C. These 20 tanks first entered combat in late February.
On March 5, 1945, General Barnes, impressed with the T26E3, ordered more to be shipped to Europe. By March 25, 53 T26E3s (by this time type-standardized as the M26 and given the name "Pershing") were at port facilities or already en route, and 157 more were in the process of preparing for shipping. Ninth Army had received 19 Pershings by the end of March, but they hadn't been issued because of the speed of the US advance gave little time for training. In the last two weeks of April, the Pershings began to arrive in greater quantities; Third Army had 90 at this time. By V-E Day, 310 were in theater, with about 200 issued to the troops. Only the first 20 Pershings associated with the ZEBRA mission saw any significant combat.
The 3rd Armored Division appears to received at least 6 M4A3E2, some of which were rearmed with the 76 mm gun M1.

Cast hulls were made throughout most of the war.
One important thing to note about Sherman production is that there was no one production line. Each company made them slightly differently. Cast hulls were made in factories that could handle the massive amounts of molten steel required. Other factories made welded hulls. Some factories could make not-quite-large-enough castings and made hybrid hulls (cast front + welded rear).
