Wait a sec... the Panthers were part of the southern pincer, weren't they? Or am I misunderstanding you?
I'm pretty sure the Panthers were deployed in two groups of 96 like you cite. I think what happened here- originally 200 were delivered to AGS for the Kursk offensive. Probably 8 (likely even more) broke down before even reaching the front. This would account for 96 in each group as opposed to 100.
The northern pincer of the attack, AGC, had all the specialized armor- the Ferdinands, the Brummbaers, etc....
