Thank you, Bill.
This is very interesting.
The Tiger hull has no attachments for side fenders, and the mudguards are of the first type, and there are no apparent tool holders. It seems to be very early in the production run, possibly before any Tiger had seen action.
And these troops appear to be demonstrating, and possibly training on, mostly Tiger (P)! They could be s.Pz.Abt. 502 who are known to have done so.
Also interesting is that the Tiger (P) turret has the high roof, unlike the prototypes which we have already seen in photos. It seems that the roof was redesigned at this early stage, before release to the troops. We already assumed this because of the one Tiger (P) that saw action later.
