Best quality schematics of these parts I have ever seen:

The turret design learned from the earlier panzers in that the trunnions are internally protected. Also, the recoil mechanism is not on the sides of the gun, allowing a narrowing of the turret face. Ammunition in the turret is not a great idea, but it appears to have some internal plates that show brackets at the top. The (H) is much better IMO.

I have seen those before. Interesting that they do not show the 'pinning' of the side turret armor to the frontal armor.

The guntubes appear to be much shorter and mounted hovering in the air, compared to the produced turrets.

They are drafted that way,they are not 'shortened'.

What about the "crack" across the gunbarrel? The gunbarrel appears to not be attached to the rest of the gun. This wacky design breaks the laws of physics.

I took drafting in High School (no computers). Trust me, you don't have to call Ghost Busters....
