Ok i hate to post just to bump this back up to the top but otherwise i imagine it will just never be read again. Again (at risk of annoying a lot of people), i would be greatful if anyone has any pics ,(even the smallest), to share.

The so-called “Bedspring Armor” was only seen in and around Berlin during the final battles in 1945. Theres not many who would fancy standing in the middle of that, armed with a camera, so don´t be expecting too many more images, although they must exist somewhere as there is film footage available (see the bristish pathe site). I have quite a few books on the T34, but don´t have any more images than these shown here.

thanks for pointing to that website Frank. i had a dig around but couldn't find anything, however there is still some very interesting footage on there which was well worth a look.

Don't know if this will help; the photos are the same as you posted, but the plate is fairly detailed.

right well thanks for everyone's help. the pics are fairly useful as reference to the bedsprings but unfortunately i still can't properly make out any of the decals so i think i will probably go for one of the combinations suggested by dragon and hope that they are right.
