The very important thing to remember is that a "Turret" number was not permanent to any particular tank indeed my 1/16 Taigen version of Tunisian campaign Tiger 1 number "813" had before its destruction in North Africa borne two other numbers on its turret and also important a large amount of tanks went through their life without displaying any turret numbers.
Schwerepanzer Abteilung 502 had Tiger 1s numbered 1,2,3,4,and 5.
Schwerepanzer Abteilung 506 had a Tiger 1 numbered "7" in two platoons,
Schwerepanzer Abteilung 508 had 14 Tiger 1s all of which were numbered "1"
14 Tiger 1s all of which were numbered "2"
and 14 Tiger 1s all of which were numbered "3"
I cannot find a single Tiger 1 numbered "7" only Abt 506 with two Tiger 1s carrying that number in separate platoons.
SS Tiger 1 Battalions were usually prefixed with a letter before any combination of numbers.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I’ve found out it was defiantly from the 506th if that narrows things down, But like you I can’t find a single early Tiger 1 with a 7 on found a 5 & 9 from 506th and that’s all.
