A favour from a tank n00b

Now, I know some basic details of tanks, such as shells come out of the big gun on the turret and the armour helps stop other shells coming in

But, I'm not so good on the finer details which is what I need for a little story I'm writing.
Basically, what I'm asking is...does anyone have a good website on British Centurion Mark III tanks? Mainly I'm after the armament, what kind of shells they carried during the early 1950s...oh, and if there's a cutaway pic out there somewhere that would be REALLY helpful too.

Also any information on Soviet and West German tanks of that time would be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
