What gets me to thinking is the forward facing cannon of the Saint Chamond tank. Tanks were a fairly recent invention in WW1, and there were multiple designs that where being experimented with, both on and off the field of battle. Eventually all tanks adopted the forward facing yet turnable main cannon design. Though the Saint Chemond Tank's cannon does not seem to have had a great range of movement, its main big gun was at its front, while the Mark IV Tank's were at the sides. Lewis Machine Guns, in this case, would have to exchange blows with a field cannon that could achieve, depending on what source you read, 15-20 rounds pr minute, and whose power rivaled that of the 6-pounders of the Mark IV. If this battle stays face to face, I think the Mark IV is in big trouble.

Though the Mark IV had bette preformance, I give this to te Saint Chamond tank due to the forward-facing cannon design, as opposed to the side-cannon design of the Mark IV.
