Found this as same website. similiar camo scheme. This one belongs to the special battalion 505. At least that what the pic says. Could be same? Note the motif on the leftside of turret.

To further flesh out Za's correct reply a bit- According to Restayn (Tiger I on the Eastern Front) this photo was taken in early July in preparations for the Kursk offensive. The Tiger belonged to the 3rd company of the 505th.
Another photo- which shows the same horses (ok, that's a guess, but it looks pretty obvious!) also shows (theoretically only a few yards away) Tiger #300 of the same unit, which was commanded by a Lt. Roder.
According to Schneider in TiC I, this was the last delivery of late production Tiger Is the unit would recieve.
Although Schneider suggests that few if any Tigers from this unit were total losses during Zitadelle, the combat diary Schneider presents does note that by 8th July, only 3 tanks were still operational.
