I suggest that you watch that scene again more carefully. The rifle grenades were portrayed as not being effective.
That first Tiger II (played by a Spanish Army M-47) was disabled by a bazooka (played by what looks like a Blindicide which, with its 83mm tube and shield, look more like a Panzerschrek!) This was after a rocket failed to penetrate the turret and the bazooka man was killed by return fire. The character played by Charles Bronson (Maj. Wollansky?) then aimed for and hit the running gear.
