I want to clear up a couple of things, because a lot of research has been done since this was posted;

That's true. Also see 223 which had the thickened mantlet.

Actually the 2nd company commander's tank should have been "21", but to this day we haven't identified a photo of it. We have do photos of those other two Tigers now.
I'd also like to know what was commanding the 7th company after Beja? Should be "71".

It's more likely to have been "221" but we're still not sure.
