I would never consider the T48 rubber chevron track as a British type. The British rubber standard was the 'Double I' type WE210.
It is a Shop Tractor T10, said with all the confidence of someone who has read Hunnicutts 'Sherman' book.
Take it away Adam.

Re: Name that tank!
Now then, never did quite get my mind straight on these...
It's possibly a 'Panther D1'. 20-odd allegedly built with a late Pz.IV turret for training purposes (never been quite sure why).
Or.... it's the conversion associated with Schw.PzJägAbt.653... As it's on a rail truck behind a Porsche Tiger, which that unit also had, I perhaps lean towards the latter.
Different shot, but of the same vehicle in the same situation:
(or has someone naughty photoshopped that first picture?..)

Re: Name that tank!
Bodston, you're horrible! Torturing our poor minds with the minutiae of the obscure, grrrrr!
This is a T-10 Tank, Medium, CDL.

I'd favour the Bergepanther conversion theory, I remember that these babies appeared in an ancient discussion of Tiger(P)'s. Pre-forum days I think? Achtung Panzer has this..
Quote:

Interesting conversion was Ausf D1 (some sources state that it was an early model Bergepanther) fitted with bolted on PzKpfw IV Ausf H 's turret (that could not be traversed), which served as a command tank of schwere Heeres Panzerjager Abteilung 653 on the Eastern Front in early/mid of 1944.

Re: Name that tank!
The pic's are pretty small, but I'll go for G with the middle one.

How did you come to that conclusion? One of the distinguishing features of the Ausf. G was its lack of a driver's vision port. This picture has one.
I'd say it was a late Ausf. D or early Ausf. A. Built between July (Right headlight eliminated) and December 1943 (Ball mounted MG introduced)

Re: Name that tank!
The third picture could be an Ausf. G. I can't see a drivers port in the glacis and it has the ball mount.
I can't see enough of the first one with those tiny pics to offer a guess.

Re: Name that tank!
The first one...who knows, probably an "A"
The second, a "D"
The third a "G"
Another good way to tell a "G" is the side armour is the same angle as the turret, since the same hull was used for the hunting Panther. The "A" & "D" sides are more slanted than the turret, looking from the front or rear with gun forward, that is.
take it away anyone
