Thank you again for answering my question. During WW2 the Germans disguised Panthers as M10s, was this a commonplace tactic used by other nations or just an act of desperation?

Gregory Oxley

In the documentary series "World War II In Colour", specifically episode 4 at around 44:45, there is footage of a Tiger I cresting a hill with some crew sitting atop the hull. On the right hand side of the lower frontal plate, there's a marking showing the number "131" in black numerals in a black circle. Is this just a coincidence (maybe a unit marking for example), or is there some link between the Tiger in the footage and the famous Tiger 131?

I should mention: The exact spot where the marking would be is covered by the spare tracks mounted on the front of Tiger 131's hull
