Wait, a "G" could have had the old style exhaust, no drivers vison port visor, no crew heater, and no mantlet chin, and zimmerit???
I don't know if you'll live long enough to get all those pebbles. Holly crap, just look at the sherman picture.
Better than my yard though. I have dog crap. Big dog crap!!!.

The Panther G is mine and while I did do artistic license on the exhaust everything else is accurate i.e. the early mantlet, no heater, no drivers vision port visor and with zimmerit. My source is Panther External Appearance & Design Changes (I recommend it if you love Panthers) which btw has a Panther Early G on the cover with zimmerit, early mantlet and no heater and my other sources are Nurnberg's Panzer Factory and Panther Tank The Quest For Combat Supremacy.
Unfortunately I do not know how to add pictures to this, but even if you look on Google for "Panther External Appearance & Design Changes" and click images you will see a Early Panther G on their cover. Hope this answers your question.

And we all know zimm was to be stopped in October of 1944, so early G's should have it.

You're right... the cooling pipes on the left side were an exclusive "A" version feature and were eliminated on the early G (Page 86 "Germany's PANTHER TANK The Quest for Combat Supremacy") and the drivers visor was introduced August 1944 so SOME early G could have it but most all late G Panthers did.
