So after much going through pictures I'm quietly going crazy trying to figure out when the JS-3 started getting the spare tracks mounted on the glacis, as the Berlin parade ones did not and the clear photos that I've found that have them already have the side-bins installed. Looking to reproduce an early 1946 version with the Tamiya kit I just know when I don't ask the picture will turn up that shows I guessed wrong. . .

Thanks!
Matt

Here is a link to Neil Stokes' very good website on the IS and KV series. Very good breakdown of each kit.
