I need to refresh my memory, because I knew this and just want to be positive. THe numbers on panzer turrets symbolize Abteilung/Kompanie/Zug, correct?

Where 143 would be 1st battalion, 4th company, 3rd platoon?

Or

1st company, 4th platoon, 3rd panzer in the tank platoon... I am pretty sure its one of these two combos but I am not sure. On a tactical level it would probably make more sense for the latter, but who knows.

Thanks!

If I am wrong please correct me
