There's no conversion necessary. The DML US tank crew figures work in a tank or TD.

Tankers wore the M1 helmets too, depending on the situation.
The driver of a TD or tank would probably wear the crash helmet or something like that. You could swap the crash helmet for a regular helmet or wool cap for other crewmen.

There were no official uniform differences I know of, and pictures show a mix of uniforms often anyway.

Have a look at some references here:
US Army Models site

and here are tank crews with helmets:
Shermans as Artillery

Look at the variety here!

And see how different TD uniforms were

The 3r Armored Division web site has tons of great photos. Of course if you poke around a bit you can find lots more.
