Doesn't surprise that they'd make it to Benning, it is a training base, after all.  A torsion bar failure tends to cascade if not fixed because of the increased load on the remaining intact bars.

The T95 at Ft Knox was found in a wooded area in Maryland by a farmer, and no one's figured out yet how it managed to get there.

The King Tiger at Knox that those @#$%^!$% at Boatwrong turned into a cutaway model originally was at Aberdeen but was traded for an XM803.  Good trade imho, but what they did to it afterwards... It was parked in our shop intact for a coupla months before it got sent to the cutters.  

Had a late model T34 also with a barrel long enough to be an 85mm but the bore measured out to be a tad over 76.  Wondered if it was an oddball variant or someone just stuck it in to display. Looked original.
