I think so. The Germans had quite loose standardization in the numbering (incl. the colours) used during the French campaign, but it was getting "there". I have only read "To The Gates of Moscow with the 3rd Panzer Division", so that's my sole source on this colour topic. I'll ask around if anyone has some slides from the spring of 1940.





Montreal Locomotive Works, 1942.

This one is a mystery, even to the owner of the photograph. But yes, the year is 1944-45.

A column of knocked out Kangaroos of 'F' Squadron, 49APCR. Winterswijk, 30 March 1945.
Spoiler
"A total of eight Kangaroos were destroyed, as well as a Stuart Tank that was leading the column. First disabling the leading Stuart, then the rearmost Kangaroo. The column of armour, traveling on a raised roadbed near the village of Winterswijk, was picked off one by one by a lone StuG III Ausf. G. Only one Kangaroo in the column managed to escape.
The British Kangaroo Regiment had just added a third fighting Squadron of Kangaroos the week before, converting 52nd Royal Tank Regiment to ‘F’ Squadron 49APCR.
It was the inexperienced troop’s first taste of combat which resulted in one Kangaroo crewman killed (Cpl. Webber) as well as several infantrymen of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Some burned alive in the disabled Kangaroos."

Four out of five, I've done worse  ;)

Yes, well done. I think even most historians would fail to spot that StuG III Ausf. A.





3./Panzer-Regiment "Hermann Göring" in Sicily, July 1943.
Spoiler
"HG" claimed the destruction of 56 Allied tanks for the loss of 4 x StuG and 3 x StuH, whereas 17 x Tigers from 2./s.Pz.Abt 504, attached to the "HG", were nearly all destroyed between 11-14 July after claiming approx. 16 Allied tanks.
