Greetings from Kiev, Ukraine!

Guys, I need your advice.
Currently I am working on old good Tamiya's SdKfz 251 Ausf D in 1/35. I am using Part PE set P35-035 for adding some extra details.
It is a big set of 3 PE fret, but instruction is unclear in some points.
You have to check reference photos for placing additional details.
But there are at least two details, which I can not identify and placement of them is unclear.
Thay are marked with red marker in instruction and in fret on the photo. One of them is comparatively big circle with grid inside it. Looks like it is somehow connected to radio but what is it and how it is placed?
The second is strange part on the rear wall (or on side wall closer to the rear doors)? Unfortunately, I can not find any reference photos about these parts.
Maybe you can help me?

Hey the one marked M, is a speaker mounts to the upper bulkhead behind the co driver,they would plug in a throat mic. I have a picture somewhere I'll look it up, the thing marked AO 60/61 not sure, I'll check some of my deep reference.


OK I found the picture for the speaker and mic, and I found where that other part go's, but I don't know how to move the photo's to armorama from kitmaker. Ugh

I'm not sure the speaker would be fitted to an ausf D. I've only seen them on A and B, where the radio is fitted further back in the hull. As to what part 60 is, I'm stumped also. It appears to have sliders formed in it, but I can't see what purpose it would have.

There is nothing like that on any vehicles I have seen,at least not in the location shown on the instructions.

Thank you very much for your help, guys.

If there are a lot of photos without these parts - I'll do it accordingly...
