There was no VK 30.02(D). The development program dead-ended with the VK 30.01(D). The VK 30.02 was a MAN design and so was (M).

Thomas L. Jentz and Hilary Louis Doyle, Germany's Panther Tank: The Quest for Combat Supremacy, (Atglen, PA: Schiffer Military Publishing, 1995), pp. 14-18. No, the tank proposed by Daimler-Benz for the 30-ton class tank under the "Panther" nomenclature on 2 March 1942 as the VK 30.02 (D) was simply the VK 30.01 (D), insofar as I know there was no real change in the design.

wich one? the one from 2012 or another one? Because in the 2012 variant no name are given in the page concerning the daimler benz design (24-29).
