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.

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?..)

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

Re: Name that tank!
Skunk nailed it. I believe the extra armor on the gun mantlet can distinguish it from a J, and it can't be an M since it still has the turret escape door?
Your turn skunk.

Re: Name that tank!
As far as I can tell all models of the PzKpfw III retained the turret side escape hatches. What were removed early in the production run of the Ausf. L were the lower hull side hatches, the one between the road wheels and the return rollers. The turret side vision ports were also removed but the doors stayed. I think, although it is hard to see, that even the vehicles that were fitted with the turret Schürzen still had the turret side doors. They could of course have been welded shut.
The Ausf. M had the headlights changed to the removeable type and they were moved to the fenders from the glacis. In addition the exhaust system was altered for deep wading, and smoke dischargers were added to the front turret.
