What would be the turret # on the Turret of another Tunisian tiger tank to go with K+C Tunisian tiger.Its 125 now so a second tiger would be 126 or 124 or 125A ? Hope that makes sense,thanks for your help.

I'm shocked - you have a technical side Of course a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. The Germans used variations on their standard numbering to confuse the Allies. For example, one of the Tiger command tanks used in Wittmann's last battle was 009, which is one of the 3 tiger tanks destroyed by Ekins, apparently confused by him for 007, the Tiger Wittmann was in which was actually destroyed by the Canadians on the far side of the field. .

Judging by the size and style of the numbers on K&C Tunisian Tiger 125 I suspect it was modeled on those of s.H.Pz.Abt.501. During the North African campaign the Tiger units were still a mix of Tigers and Pz.IIIs

In October 1942 the Tigers of s.H.Pz.Abt.501 were

Command Section
01,02

1st Company
100,111,112
121,122,131
132,141,142

2nd Company
200,211,212
221,222,231
232,241,242

In February of 1943 this units tanks were attached to Panzer Regiment 7 as 7th and 8th companies so the numbering was changed accordingly:

7th Company
711,712,714
721,722,724
731,732

8th Company
811,812,813
821,822,823
831,832
