Would be ironic that Marder had the 76.2!

 

LOL Yes it is. They would certainly not have any problems with ammunition supply .

 

Unfortunately they would, the Flak36(r) as fited to the PzJg 38(t) Marder 3 was reconfigured to take long "Pak44" style rounds, the shell was slightly larger at 7.54kg than a standard PAk40 at 6.8kg the case was a slightly modified version of the Pak40 and has the same design number 6340. however the rim is larger as is the mouth to take the larger shell diameter and marked PAK 44.

The difference between the original Russian and the German reconfiguration is

Russian original 6.4 kg at 706 m/s.

German re-configuration 7.54kg at 740 m/s.

 

LOL I just realized I had forgotten that .
