It looks more like they put a Panther mantlet on the Lowe's turret.

IMHO, it's damn ugly, and source of this design?

I'd be interested in finding out more about their references for this admittedly-interesting turret. Looks like something more at home on a JS-2. Might be interesting for the speculative July 45 crowd.

I doubt there are any references other than somebody dreaming this up. "I know! Let's stick a bunch of left over turret parts from the parts box together and see what happens!"

It's got a Panther Ausf G mantlet with chin, some sort of other mantlet stuck in front of that with a ridiculous gap between them. The turret reminds me of a M47 turret that's been cut and reshaped. Someone must have been really bored.
