I would not have thought a 6 pounder would have the power to penetrate a Porsche KT on the side of it's turret. I'm no expert, but I thought the 6 pounder shell was only about 57milimetres wide, and the armour on the side of Porsche KT was about 80 milimetres thick, and sloped.
Am I mistaken?
I thought the max penetration for a British 57mm gun was 78mm?
80mm at 1000 yards for 2630 feet/sec muzzle velocity,armor 30 degree slope.(Bovington tank museum tables),full caliber ammunition.

British 57mm APCBC penetrated slightly more than american M86 APCBC-HE at about the same velocity because it didn't have inert explosive filler.97mm FH armor at 0 degree for british gun and 91mm for american at 1000 meters.
