I was going to mention that it was an ausf D, but it was covered in the article. It being a first gen model makes it even more rare.

Presumably the Bergepanther got better final drive sprockets than the previous editions of the Panther they were designed to two back to the repair shops.

Great hull design and armour, great gun and optics, but otherwise? https://tankandafvnews.com/2015/02/08/from-the-editor-panther-reliability/
