I'll take your word for the T34 gun mounts being different; the Panther road wheel conversion is unique & interesting!

I had to do a double take and really study them but the bolt types and lips are different. If those things matter to you. I agree on the wheel. What is the backstory on the use?

Rubber was a strategic (scarse) resource (they used all-steel wheels on some positions) so if they suddenly get a good suppply of rubber tired road wheels "for free" they re-used them. In some cases they re-used the whole Panther if it was serviceable. The outer diameter of the Panther wheels was a little bigger so maybe they couldn't put Panther wheels on axles that were next to each other. Discussion in this forum back in 2012 LINK
