According the website below the 10SS has 8 panthers. Whether they were gs or not I don't know.

They indeed did have Panther G's - however not the late version. The chin on the gun mantlet was added after September 1944, and the raised crew compartment heater on the rear deck came after Market-Garden as well. An early to mid G would be very plausibe though.
