AFAIK the smoke dischargers were dropped because were activated by the impact of small caliber projectiles; on the other hand the communication port was removed because was a vulnerable sector on the side of the turret. Cheers. Raul M .

From another forum: Regarding the previous photo, there are no side mounted equipment. That way they left the factories. These were installed by the Heeres-Waffenamt.
Most likely, the photo was taken at the end of summer 1943, in a shooting range of MAN or WaPrüf ....................
