Yep, the difference is clear. However, it will be up to you to modify the available hull into the earlier version. There are not different off-the-shelf hulls for purchase...

As l said, the spare decks that Forgebear have is a DIY (do it yourself) solution. It's what you already have but it means you won't have to cut up the one you have. Just cut off the wrong shaped parts and make the correct shapes from styrene sheet.

Those two turrets look the same to me. The gun mantlet is wider on one but not the turret. Again, simply remove the turret of your tank and modify the part you are calling the shield.

Judging by the manufacturing techniques used by the Russians, I'd be surprised is any two tanks are the same! Maybe that's why we modellers love them?
