It is using a m14 upper handguard.
The records concerning actual serials used in the T26 program don't exist. Experimental ones would have a T prefix for a serial.
There were only 200 real ones made. What records that do exist suggest that most of them were changed back into regular Garands. Obviously some did survive in the Tanker configuration.
There have been far more 'fake' tanker Garands made then the number of real ones that ever existed. Assume any tanker Garand you see to be a reproduction without documented paperwork from the original Springfield Armory.
