rear drive tanks do not need front sprockets.

why do you assume it would have been rear drive?

Jentz and Doyle in PANZER TRACTS on paper panzers show line drawings of sprockets on the front and rear. The text states "technical superiority of forward drive was recognized, but the military advantage of having the drive at the rear where it was not endangered by mines or gunfire influenced the choice of rear drive". But I can't think of another AFV with sprockets at both ends.

The Ferdinand/Elefant had both forward and rear sprockets.

The Germsns also experimented with a similar drive sprocket layout on a Panzer IV G in 1944 when they built a prototype to examine the feasibility of a hydrostatic drive system.
