Trying to confirm location of this Stug wreck - Avranches?

Hello,

Can anyone confirm location of this Stug - Avranches? It looks like it might be along the D973 Route de Granville.

Looking northward. Sun is high and behind left shoulder. Long, straight road, uphill, with telephone poles on right (old style concrete poles are not along whole road anymore). But I cannot match any buildings.

The Stug wreck is said to be in Avranches, in Panzerwrecks 1.
two photos found:
1) photo on Facebook 'Stug Tracks', and in Panzerwrecks 1.

2) Different angle in Fred Bayerlein's Network54 forum thread, in the 9 photo collage, bottom-center, attributed to Stug Brig 394.

If this is in Avranches, I think it would most likely be another vehicle from Stug Brigade 902. Ran out of fuel while withdrawing south, similar to the one abandoned and destroyed in Quettreille-sur-Seinne. From my reading, neither the 341 or 394 Stug Brigades ever made it into the city of Avranches.

I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. Tom Zarnock
