Ma che i tigre africani avevano oltre a fari e cavi sistemati in modo diverso e i parafanghi frontali in un sol pezzo con l'antiscivolo non avevano anche 2 feritoie sulla parte posteriore della torre, vicino alla rommelkiste per interderci mentre tutti quelli utilizzati in seguito erano dotati sul lato destro del portello rotondo?
