I believe the G and F turret are about the same sizes with the exception of the front being narrower.

If you're talking about the Dragon Panther F from 1995, the turret was misproportioned, and the hull was actually a G, not an F. That kit is long gone, now. That turret was also featured on Dragon's Panther II kit.
The Dragon Ausf F turret in their Cyber Hobby and Smart Kit series is a perfect match to Hilary Louis Doyle's scale drawings, which are based on the surviving Panther Schmalturm discovered at the Larkhill Firing Range in the UK. I have not seen the Trumpeter E-50, and cannot comment on its accuracy.
