Is there much difference in the two tanks? I have read that the rear is modified, how will this effect the PE?
The Ausf B differed in suspension and powerplant. The A was fitted with a 57hp Krupp engine and this proved to be inadaquate, so a 100hp Maybach was installed in the B. Due to this and also the addition of another road wheel, the B had a different engine deck. The superstructre and the turret remained the same.
Ausf A (above) and B (below). Note the additional road wheel
Side view of a Panzerjager I. This used the same chassis as the Ausf B, so the extra road wheel is in better view here.
