Early production tiger II also had mono bloc barrel smooth to the mantlet.
Two completely reliable visual differentiator between tiger II and panther are:
1. All versions of tiger II had a massive overhang at the back of the turret. No panther version do.
2. The commander’s cupola on all versions of tiger II are in the middle of the turret while those on all versions of panther were flush with the back of the turret.
