Hi.
The type 3 tank used the hull of the type 1 medium tank Chi-He with an enlarged turret diameter.
Two differences to the hull of a type 97 medium tank Chi-Ha can be seen on my picture above:
1. The welded forward hull (no rivets on the forward side armour)
2. shape and size of the forward fender
Here a comparison of the fronts of a type 1 and a type 97 medium tank to show the differences:
To me it´s obvious that the T-G (or Te-Ge) on my picture is based on a hull of the type 1 tank.
I have no further infos on this vehicle so I can´t say if there was only one prototype or if there was another prototype based on the type 97 tank, sorry.
Yours

Not totally correct, but close enough.peeved wrote:The hull appears to be welded; Is the answer to b) Type 3 Chi-Nu?
