A minimum of 5 were completed as this was the amount reported in late 9/1942.
Some confusion is around the command tank that went into action in 1944 as its chassis number is reported as 250013 and 150013, the latter number was reportedly also used by a Ferdinand chassis in 9/43. This command tank was #6 given as completed in 10/42 so not included in the 5 reported in late 9/42
