It's an Ausf "G" late model fitted with the curvy Topfblende (pot mantlet) gun mantlet which replaced the rectangular gun mantlet from about November 1943.
The camo is duklegelb yellow base with Schokoladenbraun disruptive pattern used from February 1943 to November 1944.
The Stug has no zimmerit which was applied to Stugs from January 1944 to September 1944.
Taking these dates into account, the Stug would have been built November/December 1943 or October/November 1944.
The camo was typical for the Russian steppes, Italy and possibly western Europe. There are no unit insignia on the Stug to further identify it.
